Now, I&#8217;ve skied and biked on the same day on many occasions, but always in the spring, and the biking always involved a trip down to Gunnison and its&#8217; lower, drier environment.  What I haven&#8217;t done is ski around Thanksgiving and then ride at around 11,000&#8242; on Doctor&#8217;s Park, and have comfortable temps to boot.  It turns out that Doctor&#8217;s park was in great shape, and offered up an entirely new experience for a ride I&#8217;ve done many, many times.  With no traffic on Spring Creek road, no leaves on the aspens, and the sun low on the horizon, it was one Doctor&#8217;s park ride I won&#8217;t soon forget.  That said, riding a bike in November is a sorry excuse for what we should be doing:  skiing on more than one strip of manmade snow!  For the time being, there isn&#8217;t much to do other than keep hoping that the winter of &#8217;07\/&#8217;08 will eventually start.<\/p>\n<p>Brittany approaching the top:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i168.photobucket.com\/albums\/u199\/goldenboyski\/Doctorspark11-18-07001.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>Brittany on the trail:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i168.photobucket.com\/albums\/u199\/goldenboyski\/Doctorspark11-18-07006.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>And one of me a little lower&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i168.photobucket.com\/albums\/u199\/goldenboyski\/Doctorspark11-18-07010.jpg\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After Crested Butte&#8217;s opening day on the 17th, Brittany and I decided to mix it up the following day by<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4,5,14],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-88","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-biking","category-crested-butte","category-resort-skiing"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/14erskiers.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/88","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/14erskiers.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/14erskiers.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/14erskiers.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/14erskiers.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=88"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/14erskiers.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/88\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":93,"href":"https:\/\/14erskiers.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/88\/revisions\/93"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/14erskiers.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=88"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/14erskiers.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=88"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/14erskiers.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=88"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
