That would have been so much fun! Wish I could have been there, but I’m more of a road biker and trail runner as that kind of terrain tears up my back for days! Oh well, I can’t believe those guys and gals go so fast on the trails!! Whew. I think I’ll try out some Mountain biking this year but nothing that stressful on the body. Skiing is hard enough.
