Pikes Peak!!!

Hey Everyone!

How are Ya?

So yesterday, Mick and I, and our buddy Jeremy all loaded up in our new truck, and headed to Pikes Peak to meet up with some of our riding buddies for a 2 hour long epic ride down Pikes Peak. :)

Home of the famous Pikes Peak Hill Climb. I have to say, that is one of the most amazing roads I have ever seen! I can’t wait to watch the pros race up that road!!! :)

Anyways, once we reached the summit, we all began to feel a little light headed from the lack of oxygen. Not many people get the chance to desent from 14,000 ft. It was quite the experience.

The first 20 min. of the course is hardly rideable. Not only are there some crazy tight switch backs, but you are also dodging hikers. Mick and I were both pretty sure I broke my pinky finger after I clipped a boulder on one of the switch backs. It hurt pretty darn bad, but not bad enough to give up.

The trail is gnarly, and one of the best Mick says he has ever been on. Great for training that’s for sure. I had a really hard time with it at first, because I have been injured and then I got the flu pretty bad. So that was my first time really pushing it in the last few months. But, when it was all said and done, It was well worth the pain and work. I will deffinently do it again! :)

Micks little sister Tracey Hannah will be staying over here for a few weeks, so we are looking forward to that.

So, keep checkin back for more adventures brought to you by the Hannah’s! :)

Have a Great Day Everyone!!!

RIDE’N ON AND ON!!!
