Not My Grandpa's Story

On Tuesday, I was out on what could be the best cyclocross ride I have ever done. A new mountain bike trail opened just South of Boulder and I went to check it out. Exploring new trail in a familiar area has got to be one of the coolest things ever. The trail is unique because you actually go downhill while going west and approaching the mountains. It almost felt unnatural. When I turned around to climb back out of the canyon I had such a strong tailwind that it felt like I was still going downhill. It was like the stories my grandpa used to tell me about walking to school uphill both ways only better. I was riding my bike downhill both ways.
