Yet another kick ass weekend in the books. Spring and I where having a high altitude withdraw so we decide to meet in Cloudcroft NM, it was just about 6hrs for both of us. We both rolled into town within 5mins of each other. We got a sweet campsite and set up for two days, the weather was perfect at 9000ft. Saturday we decided to ride from Cloudcroft to Ruidoso, 70 miles. We got to Ruidoso around noon and had an awesome lunch, the ride back was alot harder because there was alot more climbing and we where stuffed with pizza. Spring is officially a beast!!!! She's by far the strongest she's ever been. We got back to camp just before 5pm in time for a shower and lots of relaxing. Sunday we rode to Sunspot Observatory about 35 miles round trip, we where worked from the day before but felt better as the day went on. The original plan was to mountain bike but luckily we called the bike shop in town before we went because they told us that the forest was closed due to lack of rain, they had it locked down like a prison. We had so much fun we think we're going to spend the four day July 4th holiday back in Cloudcroft. The forest should be open by then so we'll be mtbing, there's a few trails up there that are magazine worthy we hear. We can't decide if we like the ocean or the forest better? Everytime we go camping in places like Cloudcroft we want to quit our jobs and live in the woods, it's gonna happen just not quite yet.

If you guys get back there you have to ride the rim trail. Cloudcroft to sunspot, all singletrack. Did I mention I miss that place?
