Two weekends ago Cody and I decided to head up to our favorite city in America. Flagstaff is about 2.5 hours north of Phoenix. The city sits at 7,000 ft and has the most amazing weather. We went to a mountain bike race called Barn Burner. Cody works for a company on the weekends based out of Phoenix called Red Rock Racing Co. It puts on local triathlons in the city and puts on this mountain bike race up in Flagstaff. While up there a local brewing company asked us to help volunteer. Four Peaks Brewery has the most delicious beer I've ever experienced in this state, I won't say in my life because I've had some damn good beers in different states. For four hours we got to serve this delicious beer to dirty, tired, mountain bike racers. While serving this beer I had conversations with people from all over the country and poured myself endless cups of Kilt Lifter (my fav. of the brews). We received free t-shirts, hoodies, caps, you name it we got it!
After our hours of having fun we had some more fun drinking by an open fire with lots of friends! We spent the night in our tent and woke up to the most amazing sunrise. For about an hour we threw the ball to Bear in the fields at 6am and enjoyed every second of the morning. There was a large peak that we were curious about and decided to climb it. Little did we know this peak was sitting at 10,000 ft and we weren't aware of the afternoon storms that would be blowing through the area. We were almost to the top when a hail storm blew threw and forced us to hide out in a cabin that was built in the early 1900's by the people who were placed up there to watch for wildfires. This cabin saved us at the perfect time. At the top we had the most amazing view of the San Francisco Peaks. It was a weekend to remember.
