Backcountry With A Gazelle

This guy joined our group this morning for a tour in Days Fork. I'm having a difficult time coming up with words to describe how insanely fast he is on the climb. It was impressive to watch him climb out of sight and drop the group.

By the time I got to the top, he had dug a snow pit. He says he dug the pit to check the snow pack but I think he dug it for a shelter to take a nap in while he waited for us to catch up.

I am depressed now. I think I'll go eat a cheeseburger for lunch and give up cycling for good.

I know the feeling. I used to love waterskiing, until the day I went out with my friend who was a pro waterskier. Now I enjoy tubing and watching ski videos.

Imagine how I feel, I lost sight of you as well as Bart. However, thanks for letting a new guy tag along. I had a good time.

Would be happy to take that Singlefly off your hands at now used prices. Could even pay in cheesburgers.

Rick, I just saw a thing on facebook you might like to see "photos from Salt Lake Hard-core underground". great photos and flyers from Bad Yodeler days.

Jeff- Thanks for the note. I just spent the last 20 min checking that out. Very cool.

Anonymous- Nice of you to offer but I feel much better after the cheeseburger. I think I'll keep the singlefly.

I think Bart has a new nickname: Gazellespi

I bet he is not eating a cheeseburger today.
