Guided Riding

I did (sort of) complain about the Wasatch.  But one reason that the mountain range draws such crowds is that it boasts some of the best skiing and mountain biking in the world.  I've posted plenty of times about the skiing, but, this week, we did some outstanding biking there, too.  The picture, above, is of VSO cruising into the Rhino Saddle just before taking the Scotts Bypass to the 9K Trail at Park City.  This is not the first time our bikes have crested the Wasatch but this week Mark was available to be our private guide.  As a Wasatch native, he knows the trails better than anyone.  He is also a cheerful and comforting presence, always ready to look the other way if you need to start heaving or to hand over a beer if you've made it back to the truck.  The picture, below, is of Mark leading us into Daly Bowl at Deer Valley on the other end of the 9K . . . just before we earned our beer.
