George goes back to school



Well technically Caz is going back to school. They both have the same atitude to flat work.... "when are we going hacking?" Caz has the impression that one should carry ones poll in a horizontal attitude so this is a moment of greatness with George proving that we can do it!

Another Pass

The Continental Divide runs just up the road from Vail so you end up zig-zagging across from the east to the west of the continent. So once again there is the lone bike waiting to fly down another mountain.

Trip to Steamboat Springs



Towards the Wyoming boarder and about 80 miles north is a place called Steamboat Springs, famous for hot springs (one which sounds like a steamboat hence the name), and also famous for it's champagne powder snow - out of season the town isn't that interesting but the drive there and back was lovely - we forgot to take many photos except when we stopped in the woods for a walk down to the creek to cool off and we made an amazing discovery........
