What Goes Up, Must Come Down
Joe and I have been mountain biking lately. Riding the trails about 5 minutes from our house in the evenings. Getting to the top last night was a test, but the views were incredible!
I mistakenly thought this was the top, but we decided to go up a bit more, and this was our view before we started going down.
The downhill is so fun, yet focused. It’s nice to have nothing else on my mind while riding!
I did great until the very last switchback, (I was determined to make it around without stopping this time) I panicked and grabbed the wrong brake… Today I’m a little bruised and sore, and have a few bandages on my hand and knee, but I can’t wait to go back and do it again!
What’s your stress reliever?

Ooohh, ouch! Take care of yourself.
Sewing is my stress reliever but I have been known to really enjoy a long walk.
I hope your scraps and bruises heal quickly! It looks like a beautiful ride.
Amazing view! Sewing is usually my stress reliever, but if I’m angry at my hubby, and he is in the room with my sewing stuff, I usually pick a room and start scrubbing. If I’m scrubbing he knows I’m really mad.
Glad the injuries weren’t serious. My stress reliever? Sewing of course and a little chocolate never hurts either.
Beautiful views! Currently, sewing and swimming are my stress relievers. But usually, when not laid up from knee surgery, whitewater kayaking is the best release for me :) . Feel better!
I’m impressed . . . and i hope you’re ok.
Absolutely stunning! Worth a few bumps! ;-)
Workouts with my trainer and run/walks in the neighborhood are my stress relievers. Its amazing how a little fresh air and exercise can do wonders for your frame of mind. With my addiction to sewing after work, I would probably not see the light of day without those daily walks :)
Good for you! Way to test your limits! That view is is amazing! Since I don’t typically have deadlines, sewing is my stress reliever. Smiles~Beth
OH i can’t wait to move to Utah and see views like that. Wish it was tomorrow! You will make it next time without stopping, I know you will. Until then heal quickly.
Lovely views. Reading or knitting is the best way for me to relieve stress, although when the weather warms up a good walk is nice too!
Hope you’re feeling better soon.
What an amazing view. I applaude your energy
Looks like an amazing trip…hope next time you make it without the scrapes and bruises! For me, sewing and hand-quilting are my therapy! :)
Stunning pics – which part of the country are you in?
Girl, you are wild! What a beautiful time to spend with your husband. Enjoy those moments!
On our way to visit our son in Park City next week! John and his girlfriend ride mountain trails in the summer and snowboard all winter….a touhc more active than me!!! Looking forward to seeing these beautiful views.
Glad you were just bruised…and not badly injured
Oh I would love to go riding with that view! My stress reliever is karate. I need to go every night, but lessons are offered no more than twice a week. :P
