End of skiing, start of mountain-biking!

Today is Snowbird closing day, but the temperature was too warm, so I traded what could have been my last day of skiing for my first day out on a mountain-bike.

Every year, that day is very special and if I always sense an ever so slight tinge of apprehension when I first get on skis in November, I am really tentative and uncertain on my first day out on “fat tires.”

I must say that if 95% of ski fall are benign, the reverse holds true on a mountain-bike, but all went well, I got my riding back and I'm now looking forward to the next outing. As the late Pete Seeger sang so well in “Turn, turn, turn”, to everything there's a season. Now it's time for mountain-biking...
