A Visit to Deep Creek

I love love love Deep Creek!! Such a great place to get away and relax! Ok, so I suppose not everyone would find biking the hardest hills around relaxing, but I love it. The more hills the better!!


My friend Rodrigo organized a great weekend of riding and found us a very nice house to rent for the weekend. Master chef Tom arrived with enough food to feed an army - and good thing too because we had a house full of hungry cyclists who devoured the grilled pork loin, grilled chicken, grilled zucchini, fresh (picked that day) corn on the cob, fresh tomatoes w/mozarella and basil, and the list goes on. We topped it off with a flourless chocolate cake (my contribution) and some Ben & Jerry's ice cream. Yum yum yum!!

The pictures below are our various attempts at the "Westernport Wall." Three strikes and I was out, deciding to walk up it instead.

My only regret is that I didn't plan to stay longer. Two days is just not enough time to fully take advantage of everything there is to do (nor does it allow for repeat visits to the Lakeside Creamery!). Next year I'm staying for a week at least!
