Darin and I headed out for Stowe again today. Had an appt at 11:00 at Trapp Family Lodge mtn biking on their trails. Met up with Rick from stowe mtn bikie club and he was to take us on some trails and teach us things.
WELL- before I knew it as I was listening to him talking, we were taken on a single track trail. He said over and over its the easiest here at trapp. Oh o.k. then why amd I all over the place and feeling scared 90% of the time?! He would yell at us pedal hard and fast - fast fast fast doing a basically a u turn up on banks and around the corners etc.. eeeks.. scary times..
We biked back up to the lodge and met the current von trapps running the place- wonderful people so generous and kind hearted. Then we went out on another easier green trail for a 4 mile trek. I think in all it was like 7-8 miles but mtn biking all the way so really tough! when we got up to the lodge darin told me that the single track we did was a blue NOT green- no wonder it was so hard. Rick told people we did great- hhahaha yeah i had to walk places as I lost footing and stopped etc..
darin had some fun in the skills area with the bike before we left. Then we went to the brewery to have lunch. Darin got a nice beer and sandwich and I had a unsweetened ice tea- zero cals and a ceasar salad with cooked chicken. very little dressing. yummo. beautiful views of the mountains around us too!
Then we left and went exploring to find some waterfalls, one was very easy to find and we got pics and videos of it coming to share with you. then we got lost trying to find the gorge further down the road. just as I was about to give up we saw the signs. It was another hike into this place but beautiful in every way! lots of pics and videos and then hike back out, by this time my knees are shot hahaa we were both pooped.
Darins bike needs to be adjusted as it did not like a specific gear, being new they need frequent adjustments at the beginning.
So another day is done- left home at 9 got home at 5 tired, exhausted and spent! Tomorrow another waterfall for photos and then off to shadow lake for some sun and swimming and relaxation. I love being more active out and about with my loving n wonderful hubby:) Its a new world for us!
