Day 2 – Riding Yeti Tribe Gathering Main Ride, Telluride Gondola

Day 2 at the Yeti Tribe Gathering Telluride: Trent tackled the epic 23.5-mile main ride loop — pure mountain bike fun!

Morning at the Yeti Tribe Gathering

We had breakfast at 7:30 a.m. at the Yeti Tribe Gathering Telluride campsite. If you know me (Nan), you may have known that I’m not a morning person — but Trent absolutely is. He was fired up to ride with the Yeti Tribe that morning.

After the ride, Trent got back to our campsite. We hung out with our friends, had lunch, then more drinks. Trent got a chance to take our hippy shower in the rain. Then we joined the rest of the tribe for dinner.

Dinner and Evening at Yeti Tribe Gathering 2019

The dinner was great. They served really good BBQ, Salad, and more beer. After the dinner, we all had a great time playing Yeti Tribe traditional games.

Trent doing keg stand

For some reason, the night was ended with us doing a keg stand and us being silly dancing on a dance floor!

Money can’t buy happiness. But it can buy a mountain bike. And that’s pretty darn close!
