Hints of Fall
Chilly morning and yellow leafs are giving hints that Fall is coming. It’s the perfect time of year for mountain biking. Also, I took back the not really that coveted Local Legend status. It’s a nice participation trophy for those of us that just can’t seem to go fast enough to make the KOM leader board. The Ride – Providence Canyon The bike – Ibis
Stop and Go
Got stung by a bee. Stopped to pick out the stinger. Took a photo of some Llamas. Got stopped by phone calls. Lot’s of stopping and a little bit of climbing today. The ride – Paradise The bike – Time VRS Fluidity
Carpets of Green
It’s like a green Fall. I’m sure the colors are coming. For now the carpets of green are pretty impressive. The ride – Green Canyon The bike – Ibis Ripmo
Mourning with the Parrotheads
I became a big Jimmy Buffet fan in my teens. With his passing this last week the Ripmo and I spent today’s climb enjoying his music and spirit. The ride – Jardine Juniper Trail The bike – Ibis Ripmo
Fields of Gold
The sun flowers are in full bloom in Providence Canyon. The temperatures are dropping just a bit and the rain last night left the trails in a very nice packed condition. The ride – Providence Canyon The bike – Ibis Ripmo
Feels like Fall
I suck at mornings and the required early morning rides to avoid the heat are quickly coming to an end as the chill of Fall takes over the early morning hours. The ride – Paradise The bike – Time VRS Fluidity
