Get Off My Trail
It’s funny how photos never capture elevation changes. That is a ten foot drop into a ravine that is part of the upper loop in Providence. It’s fun.

I’m headed to a conference for the rest of the week so I didn’t feel the need to cut the ride short. Not often, but often enough your heart and legs feel like they could run forever.

Bren was up for a ride today so we ventured up Green Canyon together. He made it all the way to the top with a pretty reasonable pace. The ride – Green Canyon, Utah The bike – Ripmo
Pushed Devin to the top of Jardine. The views are worth every moment of pain. The ride – Jardine Juniper Trail The bike – Ripmo
