SUNUP IN SUMMIT COUNTY

I drive a lot in the Winter, I-70 to be specific. Sometimes it’s a straight shot at 80 miles per hour, blasting through the Eisenhower tunnel to the slopes. Other times, you leave and return late, stop at Loaf and Jug for coffee, Blue Moon for Breakfast, Daylight Donuts for second breakfast, followed by beers at Eric’s and Chili at Kermit’s. Then there are those days where the highway seems like little more than a parking lot, testing the patience of every white knuckled, chapped-lip’d, wind-burned, snowpants-wearing rider. In any situation, you need fuel. The cars get gas, the people get this mix. I call it “Sunup in Summit County”. It’s a decidedly chill, admittedly folk compilation. Wherever you spend your winters across this big blue marble, I hope you enjoy.
