Dust For Breakfast
My daughter “Kaite” and I have started mountain biking together of late. It’s not our first time, but we’ve gotten a bit more serious, and are trying to ride regularly. She’s training for high school sports as she’ll be a freshman at Truckee High this year, and I’m riding because I still eat like I play high school football.
So this morning she throws down that she’s tired of, “eating dust for breakfast.” We try to ride early in the mornings, before the rest of the day gets its chance to steal our opportunity. She got to lead for a while today, and it was a great thrill for me to teach her about letting her front shock “be her friend”, and how to point her knee in to a turn. I’m no free-ride guru, but I have logged some miles over the last few years, and I normally manage to keep the rubber pointing down. She said it helped…but maybe she’s just humoring me the way teenagers like to do with their parents.
If you’re wondering what my point is, it’s this. My little girl was a newborn about two eye blinks ago. She’s a freshman in high school now! Soon she’ll be dating a guy named “Axe” who has multiple piercings and who wears his pants half way down his exposed boxer shorts. (I love that look). I’m coming to terms with the fact that we don’t get too long with our kids before they’re all grown up.
So again, what’s my point? Summer is a getting away. Get up here, and get out and about and enjoy what we all love Tahoe for. By many accounts, there’s never been a better time to buy. By my account, there hasn’t been a better time to buy in at least the last eleven years I’ve been doing this. I’ll even show you a couple of zoomy, easy to ride single tracks. But because I’ll be guiding…you’ll have to eat dust for breakfast.
