For Memorial Day I had the day off and so did Jared, so we wanted to plan something really fun to do together for the day. We have another couple that we do a lot with ( Jay and Leanne) and we all decided to go do some Mountain Biking up at Kelly Canyon. The plan was to leave around 10:30 so Jared and I got up at 9 and went and rented me a Mountain Bike and a helmet and went shopping for some food to have a barbecue later. Well 10:30 comes around an passes, we are with our friends J and L now and we didn't get going till around noon. we stopped for gas and Leannes car wont start... HA it was the perfect thing to happen for this day. So we tried to jump it and nothing was happening. We finally got it to start and we were on our way. We drove up to Kelly Canyon and behind the ski resort there are dirt trails we went about ten miles down a few dirt trails till we got to our parking site and then we were unloading the bikes and getting ready to go when I accidently lock the keys in the car... which has our helmets, water and food in it. So we couldn't just go and leave.
Here they are chilling in my helmet in the locked car right in the front seat... it took AAA 2 hours before they would come out to unlock it. Thankfully it was for free cause Leanne has coverage from them. And in the mean time our beautiful sunny day has now gone cloudy and is raining.
Here is AAA unlocking the car... we were so happy to finally get going
Here we are at the beginning of the trail, we were doing a ten mile trail "mostly downhill" according to our book we had.
Here we are after like 5 miles of tough uphill. Jared and Jay go mountain biking a lot so this stuff was easy for them, this was mine and Leannes first time and it was kinda hard.
Once we got to the top and then we started the down hill the rain and cold weather had created a long trail of mud/snow/water and it was dirty and very hard to ride through, but what fun is it if you cant get muddy right?
We finally made it to the end with only a few trips and falls nothing too major, at the end of the trail Jared was a little ahead of me and it was really rocky so I had gotten off my bike and I hear Jared yell "there's a bear!" I freak out and go "WHAT!!?" He says it again, and I am getting adrenaline shot through my system, I noticed he looked too calm he was pointing ahead and I realized he had said "We are there!" telling me we were at the end. HAHA I almost cried mostly due to fear of the bear that wasn't there.
I had a blast on this trip it was so fun to be out with Jared doing something that he loves and enjoying our time together. At the end we were mostly by ourselves and got to enjoy the scenery and beautiful meadows and the quiet. By the time we finished our trail is was 8PM!!!! Yikes out there any longer it would have been dark and that would have been bad. It was so fun, and we will probably go back and do it again once every muscle in my body isnt aching, i think i will be confined to the house today i had trouble sleeping cause i was so sore... well worth it though. Thanks babe for such a fun day.
