Group mountain biking

We aren't too much into “group” things, like skiing or hiking with a bunch of people. I’m not even talking here about “group-sex!” Today, however we were invited by our friends Frank Marianne Traczyk to go on a mountain bike outing with some of their friends and we ended up covering 16 miles, struggling a lot at time, but on the whole having great fun! We were eight of us; four guys and four girls, all about the same age; Frank was the group leader and Marianne was closing the line, ready to pick up the pieces if they were any. We started on a pleasant downhill to flat portion before getting to the “pièce de résistance,” a single track going up on a steep hill with rocky portions that forced the bravest of us to dismount and walk our bikes for a few moments. Two full hours later we were done and ready to sit down and eat a taco at El Chubasco, one of many Mexican eateries in Park City; a pleasant outing, a serious work-out and a great group of friends!
