Why is this man so happy?


Well aside from having a (over stepping some bounds) a good lookin' new wife, he's Chris Winter dammit! He's the proprietor of Big Mountain bike Adventures. Not only is he a big mountain bike rider he's a big mountain skier as well. And an all around great guy. He runs tours in Europe, South Africa, Mexico, and Costa Rica to name a few. Ok enough of the schmoozing.

I decided to put a piece on the blog as I am getting nostalgic. The Switzerland trip was about this time last year and I have been going over all the pictures. Then I picked up the latest Bike Magazine (July edition) and there he is on a big fat two pager Rockin it Alpine style*. A huge grin appeared on my face and the goose bumps followed. It was like I reliving the moment and riding those same trails. The entire vibe washed over me right there in Borders Book store. DANG! I GOTTA GO BACK!
In the past year I have noticed Big Mountain has blown up. Big time. There have been articles about the trips that Chris runs in several of the big publications. Rightfully so. He runs a great operation. If you decide you want to experience this for yourself you won't be sorry.
2010 we ride again.

Sweet daddy Rob is in! You gotta represent for Sherwood over there. It will be a nice mix with a Turner, SC, Ventana, maybe a Niner and whatever Diamond Dave rides. No, I did not forget about Chillcoot Ray and Randy (SC for Ray; Randy may pony up and get a Turner by then or just rock the DaVinci.)Its gonna be some funny shiz.
