Mountain biked in Jackson Hole

Fifteen years ago, I took a mountain-biking lesson in Durango, Colo., but as I was living in Chicago at the time, I never pursued the sport.

Embarassing to say, I haven't mountain biked during the 10 years I've been in Jackson Hole, though it's a hugely popular sport here and the conditions are perfect for it.

Saturday I did actually do some mountain biking. A friend and I started along the elk refuge road and continued along Flat Creek Road into the hills.

It was a beautiful ride, but I'd better implement some kind of weight training program and build up my strength. Also, note to self: Apply sunscreen to arms and legs as well as face.
