Day 1 -
the group break at Rainbow Lake on the
Peaks Trail near Breckenridge |
We'll remember
this fun-loving group of mates for chimps, the bike tree on
Porcupine Rim, sheep herding alla Brokeback mountain, riding a
record number of trails, drunken behaviour in Aspen, and have we
mentioned chimps?

We will
remember this group for bear sightings in Aspen AND Crested
Butte, being threatened with a Police cell in Aspen, writing

and who could forget Julian's sunbathing and nipples (sorry
Julian but they're legendary!)

 |
The group
at the top
of the chair lift at Keystone. All smiles before a day
of awesome down hilling |
We'll remember
this group for seeing a bear not once, not twice, but three
times! Not forgetting jelly beans, getting through the entire
list of cocktails at Fattys, and who could forget that sunset at
Arches National Park?!!

We'll remember
this group for the most punctures in the space of 3 minutes,

All fresh, raring to go and 11 bikes in one piece!

This is what can happen to your oxygen starved body at around
12,000ft.

Rockies/Fruita/Moab holiday (June '06)
 |
The group
ready for action at the start
of the Porcupine Rim
trail in Moab |
This group was lucky enough to be in Moab when the rodeo came to
town! Who can forget the legendary "mutton busting"!? For those
of you not in the know, "mutton busting" is an only in America
event whereby little kids are put onto the back of a sheep and
hold on for dear life for as long as they can. Hilarious to
watch but I guess you just had to be there!
