Today we used our connections and blagged bikes for the day - it normally costs about $90 a day to hire bikes around here because mountain biking is such a big thing, but the guy in the bike store owed our boss Ali a favour so we both got bikes for free all day! There are loads of trails from really easy to really hard, and because I'm still feeling very unfit we decided to take the valley trail out to the lakes we haven't been to yet. The trail map is here, and we went all the way round Lost Lake, Green Lake, the golf courses, stopping quite a lot to either look things like the sea planes or die of heat! It was really hot so we took a very quick dip in the very cold Alta Lake, which is probably my favourite lake. Anyway the pictures from today are here.
Nothing else to really report today; we're starting work in Southside Lodge tomorrow properly and we'll be starting in the diner on Sunday. We'll be moving into our new lodgings which is just behind the hostel on Monday. Our room's really small but the house itself is really nice - open plan downstairs with a big stone pillar running through it - quite mountain lodge-y really!
