August began with a visit from Pam, Steve, Mark, and Jenny the first week of August.
One of the more popular activities in Summit county is bike riding, which of course we had to try our hand at. Instead of just riding around town we got a ride to the top of Vail pass at 10.600ft or so and rode downhill 2,000ft and 13 miles, all while hardly pedaling. On the left is a pi
cture in Breckenridge while getting equipped with helmets and bikes. On the right is a picture of everyone at the top ready to start going down.
On our way to staying in Breckenridge for the day we hiked from Loveland pass at 11,990ft to a point that was almost 13,000 feet. We posed for this picture with Gray's and Torrey's peaks in the background.
During our stay in Breckenridge we rafted the Arkansas River near Buena Vista with our guide Stu. Unfortunately our death defying river adventure went unphotographed. Even without pictures you should trust a good time was had by all.

tain is about the half way point. Here the people with mountain bikes rode a chair lift up the mountain in hopes to descend safely via trails specifically for mountain biking. Morale was high upon the beginning of the descent as seen on the left. Later on the trail gave the rider a choice of going off of a boulder, or around the boulder. We all tried both ways, however; 
some riders were more successful than others in their attempts. Nobody was hurt in the photographing of these stunts....

therwise was great for hiking. As you can see from the picture there was much fog inhibiting our view. Actually the picture shows the fog at it's best throughout the day.
