No bike? No ploblem.
My family planned a Park City trip to see some Lego art and celebrate my nephew's birthday at Mcdonald's. Usually every time I think "Park City", I think, "bike". That is sometimes a problem for me. It's all psychology, pretty much all my whole life going to Park City, it has to be mountain bike related. This weekend when we went, I figured it was too early in the season to bike because I thought there was still snow. So, I decided to not take my mountain bike. For the first time!
But when we got there, I was seeing there were a few places I can still ride, like on the south face low elevation rides. I think the only trail you can ride in the middle of April is part of Glenwild Trail. I felt disappointed that I didn't take my bike and there was like three hours of free time when we got there. But I had fun just relaxing and staying in the motel and shop for a few things anyway. I bought some hiking shorts and cycling tights at the outlet stores. The next morning, when everybody was in the motel room after a while, I was getting claustrophobic and I decided to go drive around and see if there were skiers jumping I can watch at the Olympic Park. But there was no one there, it was dead silent. Then I drove around for a while and I saw like a group of 100 road cyclists on this back road I was on. I don't know if they were doing a race or a group ride, but whatever. It was cool. Then I decided to do a little walk. The walk turned out to be a 2 hour hike, I was enjoying myself. I hiked up on Glenwild Trail and I got a little rain on me and enjoyed being out for a while. See? Who needs a bike? You can always go for a fun hike. I saw a quite of few bikers on the trail and they looked like they were having fun, but anyways, it was fun hiking too. I was like trying to tell them, "Hey, hiking is fun too!" I was trying to get my mind off of bikes, oh well.
Later that day, we went to Mcdonald's and to Kimball Art's Center for a family thing and mostly for my nephew's birthday party. At the Art center, there were quite a few Lego displays this guy made, they were pretty cool. Here's a few of my favorites.
I had a good weekend and next time I will take my bike no matter what. Unless I don't have 3 hours to spare or there's a blizzard out there, or I'd just rather go hiking.
