On our last day together, we rented full suspension bikes and hired a 
guide/ instructor to show us some strategies for riding mountain bikes 
on trails. This was pretty cool, as he took us on a "Pump" track, used 
to teach/practice maneuver on rolling terrain. Breckenridge also has a 
tiny terrain park. Both of these practice areas were being used by very 
young children, who were out-performing me, but Jamie did super well. I 
think her skiing helps; she is fearless.
I took my bike to Alpine 
Sports to ship. (Not impressed- the bike made it home without damage, 
but that appeared to be pure luck. The packaging had shifted and was 
minimal and the store called me to find out if I had paid for the 
shipping. On the plus side, they agreed to also ship a box of stuff for 
me and did not charge me enough to cover a second box they needed.) 
Fireside Inn found me a box to take on the plane for the stuff I would 
need in Portland. Have I said what a fabulous place that hostel is?
