Today I had the exciting experience to go on a mountain bike ride with Eric! It was a spectacular summer day we have been waiting for for a long time. Sunny, 70-something degrees, light wind, high fluffy clouds.
Eric has been training and riding for a couple of years now with his great friend Rick Gunn. For those of you who don’t know Rick, he just a couple of years ago completed an astonishing ride around the World, riding something like 25,000 miles.
No ride is complete without the company of Tazmin, one of our Hungarian Vizslas. Taz is an amazing bike-ride champ who recently completed a 20-mile ride with Eric & Rick.
Now that the snow is mostly gone, Eric has been enjoying one of the most fun and challenging trails in Tahoe, the Corral Loop. He’s out there just about every day getting stronger and faster.
I got to witness that today, when he took me on the Power Line Trail and kept leaving me behind in a cloud of dust while I just about died from all the uphills and thrilling turns… It was a good kind of dieing though! 
The ride was fantastic and I felt truly invigorated from it even though at the end I was ready to collapse.
Here are some images of Jarv looking sooooo good! Skiing and biking are what keep him living in Tahoe!
And me on an easy stretch catching my breath…
The view off of the trail is quite spectacular!
