Dr. Feel Good

He's the one they call Dr. Feelgood, he's the one that makes you feel alright. #followcamfriday with Chris Boice. 

This was "first go" for Chris Boice. There is only one first kiss, so you may as well make the most of it. I have ridden and raced this one a bunch and it was highly enjoyable to watch Chris dissect this one. 

Chris passed his visit to the doctor with a clean bill of health. The last time I filmed this was in 2017 and Tom Sampson was not so fortunate. It was Tom's first lap as well and he unfortunately smoked a downed tree going at least 30mph. Tom made it out on his own power and we took him directly to the hospital in Gunnison where he learned that he had fractured his wrist and elbow. Tom made a full recovery and needs redemption on this one. 

Pretty sure I got the short end of the deal on this one. Trading water in a can for beer is never a great place to be, but Chris really needed the recovery drink. We rode more this weekend than Chris had ridden the entire year prior. A well earned Modelo Especial my amigo. 

Doctor Park is probably regarded as the "favorite" trail in Crested Butte. That is saying something considering CB is one of the premier MTB destinations in the world. It's definitely way up there on my list, but picking favorites is like choosing between children. 

It wouldn't be a ride in Colorado without finishing with one wet foot. I should really remember to switch feet on occasion before crossing streams. 

For some reason, beer just tastes better in a river. I highly recommend both cold water, and beer for proper recovery after a solid day on the trail. Chris is doing it right here.
