Viva Las Vegas

So I went Las Vegas for my Birthday and had one of the most enjoyable 10 day vacations ever.First, I have to thank all the people that made this birthday that much more memorable than all the rest.Except for the first one of course(thanks Mom).Well Mom was as big a part of this one as she was in the making of the first one.She traveled the entire trip via the inter-webs and a ton of phone calls.Next, my big Bro Brett for not only picking me up and dropping me off, but just allowing me the opportunity to go on the trip.Next would be Germy and Adam.If it weren't for Germy and Adam I would have not had such great company and riding partners in Flagstaff and Sedona,Az.Next would have to be Carey,LGB's older sister.She came up to Sedona and kept me company for a couple of hours.She also showed me around Slide Rock state park in Sedona.Next the gang at High Mesa Bikes in Gallup,Nm.They were super friendly and helpful about the trails in the area.Next would be Big Al from Big Al's Cyclery in Durango,Co.She was grinding up the Colorado trail in Durango and let me bust out the Best ride of the whole trip.Pinkus is next.She lives in Vail and is a long time friend of Matty and myself.Morgan,the man who built the Gooseberry Mesa trail,for giving me the personally guided tour of his wonderful back yard- Zion Nat. Park.Last would again have to be Carey.She flew up to Vegas for my last night of vacation.She had never been to Vegas and just had to come.We went to the Stratosphere and road the spinning throw-up ride.Over 1000 feet above the sandy grit of Vegas.Well, now that I am back at home, I can not wait to make my next trip the South West.Next time Big J and my Bro will have to make the trip with me.
