Valentine's Day wknd

I had such a great time this past wknd. Helen shaved a minute off her time and was the 3rd fastest woman at the Red Hot 50K trail running race out in Moab. Threatening forecasts actually yielded nice weather. Saturday early am it snowed for about 5 minute, then it cleared and was sunny the rest of the wknd. We couldn't have been more lucky with the weather. And I was able to get out and ride 2 classics on the mtb, Amasa Back and Slickrock. I would rather be no place else than Moab in Jan or Feb. Hard to believe this desert town is only 4hrs from Breck, yet retains nice weather and almost always has dry trails. Alina got to check out the parks and playgrounds, and had some good time riding her bike. On the way out of town, we stopped off at the Sovereign Trail for Helen to do a short run to stretch her legs. Alina and I watched Dora's Pirate Adventure, then we took her bike out for some Moab desert riding in the parking lot.
