The Lees decided to take a trip to Breckenridge and invited Leila and I along. Leila was already in Denver visiting her sister so I rode with Devon and Eileen from Kansas City and we picked up Leila along the way. We stayed at an AirBnB with a hot tub in a town just outside Breckenridge called Dillon. We went fish (boring!) and then later did some mountain biking down an actual mountain.
I had brought my mountain bike along to do some riding at a local ski resort. Since there's no snow in the summer they open up the slopes for mountain bikers. Although we temporarily lost my bike when it fell off the back of the car on I-70 it was ship-shape after I replaced the front axle pin.|We took the ski lift to the top and once the attendant clicked the bar shut over our wastes he wished us luck with the wild weather that was going on at the top of the mountain. Halfway up we got pummeled with hail and freezing winds and then by the time we got to the top everything was fine again. We were able to go for 3-4 rides down the mountain before lightning forced the lift closure. Our final ride down rain started to move in and we were racing to get down the mountain before getting drenched!
