I took the Ripmo into Providence Canyon, climbing Spring Creek and Canyon Road before looping through the Upper Figure 8’s. The ride finished with the Providence descent and Gretel.

Red and yellow leaves covered the ground beneath the trees. I stopped for photos of the Ripmo among the fall colors, the creek, and the view out toward the valley.
