Changing seasons or sports schizophrenia?

Today was mother's day and I was happy to have lunch with my mom today and was even able to get out and enjoy the outdoors. This morning Dave Bart and I skinned up Snowmass Mountain for some spring corn. The hike up Slot from lot E was steep I was happy to try out my ski crampons. From the top of Sam's Knob we continued up Sneaky's to the patrol shack at the top of the Big Burn chair. As you can tell from the photos it has snowed quite a bit since the mountain had closed. The assent down was great we skied Power-line and then skinned back up to the Knob before descending Zugspitze back to the car at lot e.  The snow is still fantastic and I suggest if you have the equipment to go out there and enjoy this years record snowfall. Here is a slideshow of our Adventure. Here is a link to the GPS stats for our trip.





 After a nice lunch with mom I felt the day was too nice to not get out and enjoy the blue bird day. So I switched gears literally and jumped on the bike for a quick out and back ride to the end up of the pavement up woody creek. On the way back I even saw a herd of 30-40 elk. In an effort to make the ride more exciting I've added a time laps video of  today's ride. Again here are the stats for the ride.

Aspen Cycling Club 2011 Old Snowmass Time Trial

Today was my second bike race. Aspen Cycling Club's 2011 Old Snowmass time Trial. I only had to work a half day so I had plenty of time to make it to the race.  I  parked at the Snowmass Intercept lot and road down to Old Snowmass and back up the Snowmass Creek before the race. I even had time after getting a start time to warm up by forerunning the first 6 miles of the course from the start to the monastery before my start time. My goal for this race was not to go out of the start . I haven't seen the results but overall the race went really well. I tried to start out slow and after the turnaround at the monistary hammer it to the finish. it seemed to work. Guess I'll have to wait for the results.
