…And then on the 7th day we rode our bikes, downhill.

This past Sunday was a special day. It was one of the few days that Red Rock Bicycle Co. has been closed this year. We tend to get Thanksgiving, Christmas and New  Years Off. So to get a day off in August was a bit of a treat. Seeing that we are open seven days a week, there are few days when everyone can go riding together. We decided we should celebrate this occasion by riding our bicycles, downhill.

Apparently there are some of us who like the rest of us less than we would like to think cuz there were only three of us from the shop in attendance at the day off field trip, Prattipus, Lady Howdy and myself. We were able to convince the Berg, Cim and Big D to tag along. There were actually thrilled to spend some time with us, so that made us feel good.

We hit Brian Head up pretty hard. And by pretty hard I mean we were among about 7 people on the mountain and therefore the lift guys were bored as hell and wishing that we would stop. Which we did for a snack only to have the lifts then closed for lightning and watch the skies open and dump a biblical proportion of water on us. So we were done.

Then we ate pizza and drank beer. It was wonderful.

In unrelated news, my initial impression of the new ride is as follows; It is F&^%ing, amazingly smooth. I can’t really think of much else to say other than it is a lot faster than the blue bike…

Out.
