Autumn Vibes
Just two loops to burn out the quads. Two loops to enjoy the feast for the eyes that is just starting to get underway. The ride – Providence Canyon, Utah The bike – Ripmo
Month: September 2024
Magic carpet ride
The need to pick up my road bike from the shop prompted me to ride Green Canyon (the two exist in close proximity). I was rewarded with hints of Fall colors and a bike that was not ready for pickup. The ride – Green Canyon, Utah The bike – Ripmo
Color hunting
The colors have started changing in Logan Canyon. The ride – Paradise, Utah The bike – TIME VRS Fluidity
Leaf peepin in the rain
I keep thinking I can delay riding because the Autumn weather is here. I am wrong. It still gets very hot very fast and so I gave up a lot of sweat on this ride. The sky returned the water in the form of rain. The clouds provided welcome relief from the brutal sun. The trails are loose and rocky. I need to adjust my
One more for Everett
The bunch of us used to ride together more often. That was before they closed Wayne’s loop which still pains me. There wasn’t a better family ride in the valley. My nephew, Everett is leaving to serve a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints for the next two years. It will be a while before this crew rides together again.
Fall leaves and sun flowers
The air is cooling. There are hints of Fall on the trees and the sun flowers are still in full bloom. The trails are all moon dust and marbles but that shouldn’t stop anyone from doing laps in Providence. The ride – Providence Canyon, Utah The bike – Ripmo
Horse pucky and moondust
Fires have left the valley air thick with smoke. I decided to risk a ride anyway and was surprised to find the air breathable in Green Canyon. I like those kinds of surprises. Also, surprise, the trees are starting to change colors. The ride – Green Canyon, Utah The bike – Ripmo
Golden morning rays invite me out for a smoke
Usually the golden light only lasts a short while as the sun comes up or goes down. The light has been orange all day to day and it’s impossible to see the mountains. Somewhere there is a forest burning to the ground. In the mountains around us Autumn has started. The ride – Providence Canyon, Utah The bike – Ripmo
Logan Canyon kind of morning
It’s starting to feel like Autumn. Logan Canyon is a great place to be when the colors change. The ride – Providence, Utah The bike – Bianchi Cavaria
Flying with the boys
I told the boys we’d ride to the airplane. I then made Brennan ride until he was in pain and started to cry. When we got back to the car I loaded my bike. The boys chose to keep riding down the canyon road. I no longer felt bad about pushing them for 15 miles. The ride – Woody’s, Paper Airplane, and Brim trail Powder
