And what was intended to be just a quick \u201cstretch our legs\u201d ride ended up business as usual, a 3ish hour lung-busting endeavor. Hard to stop when you\u2019re having fun and it\u2019s still light until 9pm!!! \ud83d\ude01<\/figcaption><\/center><\/figure><\/div>\n\n

Mountain biking is a tad bit dirtier of a sport than bouldering, especially when you\u2019re me, the slow one in the back of the pack riding in the dust cloud of the shredders in front of you. So yes, I splurged and bought a shower for this trip. In Paul\u2019s exact words after partaking in this camp-luxury: \u201cgame changer.\u201d<\/figcaption><\/center><\/figure><\/div>\n\n

Spike ball at the boulders. The locals were very impressed that the boys hauled it all the way up here.
