I've been pretending that Nancy was here and doing some things besides just riding all day. On Friday I rode out to the trailhead and hiked up to Sawtooth Lake, a glorious alpine lake not far from Stanley. I can't wait to show you the pictures.

On Thursday I rode an incredible mountain bike loop north of Galena Summit - the Williams Creek/Fisher Creek loop. You climb up a steep uphill on a (poor) road and then have miles and miles and miles of downhill on very-single singletrack. An awesome ride. Highly recommended.

And yesterday I hiked up to an amazing hot spring called Goldbug Hot Spring. It was a steep climb, but when I got there I found steaming streams of water going into many pools and just rushing out of the mountain. You would have liked it! And a great temperature, too.
