This weekend was the grand opening of the I-5 Colonnade Mountain Bike Skill Park built below the 5 freeway near our house. We are seriously a hop, skip and jump away from this new amazing man made creation. Both Aubrey and I were pleasantly surprise at how vast and well built it was. I mean we were thinking “what can a bunch of guys really build underneath the 5 freeway?” Aubrey’s reaction? “Holy Crap.”
The park has a bit of everything for anyone who rides a mountain bike. From 60 year old guys on cross country bikes riding the beginner section to the young kid hitting the 7 foot wooden ladder drop, it’s for everyone looking for a good time. Best of all? Everything is free! Okay enough with the time wasting. I’m off to the bike shop to get my bike ready. Click on the photos to visit my Flickr gallery. I tried to document the place as much as possible for my riding friends back at home. You know who you are. Enjoy!
Welcome to the adventures of Aubrey and Michael. We plan on using this blog to keep our family and friends back in California amidst on our new adventure here in Seattle Washington!
