The Boys first ride



Well the morning started out with Howie finally getting to try out the griddle for is modular outdoor cooking center, he was pretty excited. He did eggs, we both had ours sort of scrambled with peppers, onions, and pepper relish, then on a bagel with cheese, most excellent. We decided to take them on a repeat of our first mid mountain trail ride above Park City. The boys did quite well on the first climb but I could tell when things were getting steep for them as their chatter dwindled to nothing. Paul also did quite well for his first real ride at altitude, although he was a bit happier once we reached the Mid Mountain trail and things flattened out a bit. Everyone was impressed with the views from up there. Alex had a minor crash when he lost his rear brakes at one point but was behind me so I didn't catch that on film. Paul had a minor falling over as I was taping them coming around a corner. Alex didn't want to disappoint me so he had quite the spectacular wreck just in front of me on the last downhill, Holly's down, with tape rolling. Even after a few views of it back here at the trailer, we're still not sure what happened but he was OK and it looked pretty cool on the tape.
Back at camp, Howie started dinner and Paul was pretty sure he had never eaten a burger bigger than these. And what dinner would be complete without Howie's potato wedges. After everybody got cleaned up we headed into Heber City for ice cream at Dairy Keen, no thats not a typo.
