"catchin up is hard to do"

so mia was in town, we had hauled it back to st george and got up the next day to pack and head out for gooseberry, we got up and just kicked it that night , it was so cool to have some time with my friend, jordan had gone ahead to cedar city to ride up at brian head, crazy kid, he ended up riding in the snow, but then he got back in the car and drove to the goose, so he went out on a ride while mia and i set camp. when jordan got back he told us that he was driving back to cedar city for the night, my friends from california have one large flaw, they dont like to car camp on bike trips ???? weird huh ??? when they come to brian head this month they dont even want to sleep on the mountain ????? anyway, on that monday morning mia and i had drove back to town to rent her a bike,,,, thats when i met them. them, weird way to describe them huh ? well when i meet THEM i had to make a new catagory for women, these two are off the charts !!!
on the right is julie, and on the left is sophie, they are french canadians from quebec city in quebec canada. i was standing in the bike shop getting mia ready and in walks this adorable girl, she looks at me and in this cute little voice and accent says " can you tell me where to ride my bicycle ?", " well hell" i said, "come with us", she said "yes ?" i told her "yes, come with us", "okay" julie said and out the door we went. thats when i met sophie and her incredible butt that i have fallen in love with, more about that later....

this is out on south rim on gooseberry, these girls had no idea about gooseberry, i dont think they had even heard of it before, it was such a stroke of good fortune to meet up with these girls the way we did, it ened up being quite a cool week and a half and i made some cool ass new friends.

julie and sophie had flown into las vegas a day and a half ago, they rented a van and were on a 10 day trip through the southwest, they didnt even know about our oaisis and were on their way to zion, so it was really cool to show them our desert and they really seemed to be having fun, and it was a blast riding behind sophie :->....

we ( jordan, sophie, julie, and me ) were almost to the trail head when a car came up on us really fast honking no less, well some of you know the run ins ive had out on the road so to say that i was pissed at this person was a little bit of an under statement, turned out to be "maximus", man it was good to see my friend, i hadnt rode with him for a while as he had been nursing a climbing fall injury, ( had a feeling this could happen, i will be nervous when he starts going up again ) sob could have died, he was in zion and fell 30 feet or so, theres more to it than that but for now we will leave it be.

so yeah all of a sudden we got a kick ass bike ride brewing...

this is a spot on "hidden canyon" that piece of trail is my fav out on the goose, its 2.2 miles of fun as shit man..

thats mark,( maximus ) julie, jordan, me, mia, and sophie at the spot on the goose...
