From Winter To Summer In a Week

It’s amazing how quick we go from winter to summer here in the mountains of Park City. Memorial Day weekend was unsettled, with some cold rain and chance of snow. This past weekend hit the 80s and felt like summer. Just like that. There is still plenty of snow up high. I rode my road bike to the top of Bald Mountain Pass in the Uintas, and there were still 4 to 5 foot snow walls, but then again, that was at about 10,795 feet. How about you? Did anyone ride the mountain bike trails here in Park City this weekend? How high up did you get?

First Day of Spring

Birds chirping, sun shining, tempted by the moto, running late for work. Coffee and donuts at the office, review 296 images from a sunny powder day photoshoot at PCMR to the sounds of Motley Crue’s Dr. Feelgood. Hustle up to DV for a lunch meeting including obligatory turns. Fast in the shade, slow in the sun. Pizza at Silver Lake, slush turns down Big Stick, back to the office. Power down, head out, meet family at Park City Ice Arena for daughter’s skating lessons. Rent wobbly too big skates for 15 minutes of skating, but I don’t care. My daughter’s grin is ear to ear. Try to remember the crossover, no problem going counter clockwise, big problem going clockwise. Return skates, hustle home, change into cycling gear, ride up and over the Preserve, descend into Jeremy Ranch, watch last 4 minutes of Utes loss, drink Shiraz, give daughter a bath, get her ready for bed, it’s still light outside. First day of spring in Park City.
