Slow burn
Not a fast ride. I must have been really slow for the vultures to hang around waiting for me to drop. The ride – Porcupine Dam, Utah The bike – TIME VRS Fluidity

New tires, closed roads
My Assegais have seen better days so it was time for new ones. I always forget how nice and grippy new tires are. While enjoying Providence Canyon the road crews closed and started chip sealing my path home so I added some distance to the ride on the return. The ride – Providence Canyon, Utah The bike – Ripmo
The tank is empty
Some rides require a lot of persuasion to keep my legs in motion. This was that kind of ride. Luckily the beauty of Logan Canyon is great motivation. The ride – Paradise, Utah The bike – TIME VRS Fluidity
New bridge, new trail, same Providence
There’s a new bridge going in in Providence. The current bridge is fine but instead of building new trails or clearing some existing ones the Forrest Service has the need to randomly show up and throw off the flow that a lot of volunteers have perfected over years of hard work.

Millville is a mess
Another dam ride that included going through Millville which is absolutely torn to shreds right now. There are more rocks and dirt than asphalt roads. I’m not sure how many more times I want to torment the Time passing through town. The ride – Porcupine Dam, Utah The bike – TIME VRS Fluidity
Hiawatha Trail Up

Hiawatha Trail Down
Despite being all down hill this is not a fast ride. We stopped and stopped to take photos, read signs and enjoy the scenery. Also, your butt is going to end up caked with mud when you ride this. The ride – Lolo National Forest, Montana The bike – Ripmo
We came for the bridge
We had planned on riding the Trail of the Hiawatha today but it’s raining so we improvised. That turned out to be a good thing. The ride from Harrison south to the bridge across the lake is beautiful. Also, the food at The Cycle Haus is pretty good and there are a couple of ice cream places in town to make up for all those
New bridge
Morning storms pushed me to do a lunch ride. The sweat dripping from my helmet reminded me that early morning summer rides are more pleasant and humidity 100% affects performance. The Forrest Service was hard at work putting in a new bridge and refurbishing the trail. The placement of the new bridge is going to mess up the trail flow but maybe that’s intended. The
Duck
Took a trip out to Avon to visit my favorite flock of ducks. They’re my biggest fans. The ride – Porcupine Dam, Utah The bike – TIME VRS Fluidity
