Bow in Park City, Utah

After our Tour of Southern Utah we headed to Park City to get out of the heat and to have some fun on the awesome trails. Here's Bow's view on the Mid-Mountain Trail. It's 27 miles with about 3,000' of climbing. All singletrack.
Yours truly! The day after these two shots were taken we rode a trail called Spin Cycle. Two years ago I walked down the entire "spin" section; way to afraid to ride the crazy switchbacks. This time I rode every inch! I just tapped my foot down on one tight left-hand turn. I'm so glad I took that two-day Dirt Series Women's Camp in Ketchum in July. Mountain bike is a huge mental challenge for me - as I'm very nervous making turns to the left (especially on tight switchbacks), and trails with exposure to the right usually scare me. But I've overcome most of that this year - and was so happy with how I rode in Park City this time! Yeah!!!
After seven days and over 500 miles of road riding on our Tour, and four epic off road rides in Park City, we opted for a little touristy fun... The Alpine Slide! I'd never done such a thing... and Bow and I laughed all the way down!

This is Brian, my wonderful, supportive husband!
This is me!
Brian and I took Bow full speed on the two-person mountain coaster. The crazy thing has a brake - but Brian refused to engage it. I laughed so hard I was crying!

We also visited the Utah Olympic Center - and watched athletes practice on the ski jumps. Boy do they fly! This is one thing I doubt I'd ever try!This looks like a ton of fun!

We took the $7 Tour as well. Here's the view from the top of the ski jump.

Now we're off to Zion to hike the Virgin River Narrows. Stay tuned for a report!
