Ketchum, ID

A crew of us spent the 4th of July weekend in Ketchum and this is what I learned:

1. The mountain biking there is top notch, bring tights and a hardtail or you won't fit in.
2. Free camping next to a river that you can swim in after riding does not suck. The shrinkage is a different story.
3. The car of choice for the rich people in Ketchum is the Porche Boxter or the 911 Turbo. Their kids get stuck with the BWM 5 series.
4. The not rich people all ride cruiser bikes and drink beers at Lefty's with their neighbors until 11:30 on Sundays, they all have dogs and beards.
5. Fireworks are more fun when ice cream sandwiches are introduced but don't forget to close the freezer door at the gas station. You will get yelled at. Twice.
6. The posted speed limit is way too slow. Take a look at my speeding ticket and you'll see what I think it should be.
7. KB's, the burrito place kicks ass! Eat there everyday after riding and then take a nap. You'll ride faster the next day guaranteed.
8. I need to make a lot more money if I ever hope to buy a house in Ketchum. 6.7 million a year should do it.
9. I forget to take pictures when we actually ride.
10. The air sucks in Salt Lake. I'm moving to Ketchum, or LA. It's a toss up.
