Get Off My Trail
I had intended to take it easy on the climb but then a kid passed me and my stupid kicked in. My legs were crying but my ego pushed my heart, lungs and legs until satisfaction could be found at the top of the trail. They are all on strike now but the ride was pretty great so I think I might be able to
Logan Canyon is a beautiful place. I’ve been wanting to take out the Bianchi again (in spite of an unruly rear derailleur). With every change of the season Logan Canyon brings a new feast for the eyes. On the last climb to the rock slide I was pushing as hard as I could and not paying attention to much else. I came around the corner
Errands and soccer games consumed my morning. I found a slight break in the evening to get out and and spend some time in one of the most beautiful canyons on earth. Lucky for me it is a short ride on a beautiful Bianchi to a heavenly spot. The ride – Logan River Trail The bike – Bianchi Cavaria
If you’re weekend plans involve finding ways to elevate your existence might I recommend your path involved two wheels and all the cardio you can muster.

I kept pushing off my ride waiting for the wind to die down and the temperature to rise just a bit. Neither happened and with a pending soccer game I found myself on Zwift. My legs burned up, my interest in being on the trainer somewhere around 0 I was not fast and now I really just need a nap. The ride – Zwift The

Luckily I got away without being stung in the mouth. The ride – Providence Canyon The bike – Ibis Ripmo
It’s still cold and I have a ton of meetings so I had to jump on the trainer. The ride – Zwift The bike – Trek Madone 6.9 on a Wahoo Kickr Smart Trainer
Actually, I can’t hate the snow. We need the water. Another day on Zwift because I don’t like to be cold. The ride – Zwift The bike – Trek Madone 6.9 on a Wahoo Kickr Smart Trainer
I had heard rumors of new dirt and I had seen the Strava evidence. Undeterred by the E-bike labels I determined to make a loop up Providence and then take a slight detour to check out the fabled new route with my own eyes. An hour later, my legs crying for mercy, I discovered This is brand new dirt. Like you can see the shovel
Today’s ride was beautiful with a few moments of carefully guiding the Ripmo through the landmines left without thought or care by our equestrian friends. I think everyone should have access to public trails but remind me why it’s OK to leave mountains of horse crap right next to a stream? The ride – Providence Canyon The bike – Ibis Ripmo
