Labor Day Stay-cation in Park City

Labor Day has come and gone in a blur.  We packed so much in over the past few days, I was very content to work from home today and catch a breath.  Off to Seattle tomorrow for work so enjoying the evening at home on the front porch.

I flew to Vancouver, BC Thursday afternoon for meetings on Friday. I was able to spend a few hours at the Capilano Suspension Bridge.  Once you walked in and became part of the ecosystem, it was easy to forget you were only a couple miles from downtown.
I learned that my wingspan is similar to a Canadian Goose.
So had to try it out in a photo. The trees were huge!
Before I stepped out onto the Cliffwalk. You could feel the
suspension shaking. Some sections even had glass floors.



Spectacular dinner view
We jumped right into the weekend with a Sat morning mountain bike.  Up the new Armstrong trail to Mid-Mountain and back to PCMR on Spiro.  Great company and perfect conditions!  Only one minor crash and it wasn't one of us - now there's a first.  A few hours relaxing on the porch and then dinner in Park City.  We were disappointed with our meal, especially since we didn't have a 2-for-1 discount and paid full price.

The crash victim.  It was a giggle moment, no injuries.
Sunday was Terry's choice, so we headed out on the road bikes after housework and recycling.  We climbed thru a few gated neighborhoods in order to stay away from the busy holiday traffic and got in a good workout.  It was a good thing we burned a few calories, since we were off to a party in SLC.  We met a few new friends and caught up with others.  Most of the potluck dishes were vegan and delicious!

Monday we were back on the mountain bikes with a long ride from Deer Valley.  We tried out a couple new trails and finished the morning with lunch at Royal Street Cafe.  It was the last day of the season and they didn't disappoint.  Asian salad for me and the burger for Terry.  We got home just in time to meet with our landscape architect (future blog material if all works out) and then up the street for a neighborhood bbq.  More amazing food and friends and a perfect ending to the weekend.

Knee pads are all the rage.
Saves on the doctor visits and makes us look extreme.
