Smooth Sailing

The last few days have gone pretty smooth. Except for the fact I wasn't able to race the CB 100 race. I was able to do 2 laps with the race though, it was brutal. It was hard to be prepared for a race like this when you are busy searching for a place to live. Like I always say, "Ya gotta have your priorities." Well mine was looking for a place to live so I can get my stuff unpacked. All day Friday was taken up searching for apartments and looking at various places in the Gunnison area. I had planned to head up to CB early afternoon, but didn't end up making it there until about 8. So we searched for a place to camp. When we found one, we set up everything and soon realized we were on private property. We packed everything back up and figured out there was a campground a little further down the road. But t ended up only being accessible by 4x4 and we were driving the Jetta. Almont was the only other place I could think of the had a campground right off a paved road, so we headed there. After a 30min drive we hurried to set up the tent. By now it was close to 12pm and the race meeting started at 6am. This is where I changed my mind on the race. So I slept in and headed back up to the Butte around 8. Just in time to catch on as the race was coming through. The trails in CB are some of the best trails I have ever ridden. I can't believe how much fun they are and the amazing scenery that goes along with it. I wasn' able to get any pictures on the ride, but I have some other random pictures from out trip here.
Well time to go do a little riding and enjoy the trails here in the Springs while I can. Our apartment wont be available until Aug. 1st. So we will be staying in the Springs until then.....
