Get Off My Trail
The road closures continue but I found a small dirt path through the houses that will drop me by the USU Water Lab which then connects me to Logan Canyon. This will be my path until such time as Canyon road reopens. Given the giant holes they’ve dug it will be a while. The ride – Logan River Trail The bike – Bianchi Cavaria
Beautiful morning and beautiful ride. The end of these ride is less picturesque and has me on a 4 line highway for a short distance to connect to home. I managed to race and beat a dump truck right up until the turn off. Racing a dump truck isn’t saying much since they are slow but at my age I take what I can. The
I rode to Paradise thinking I would do a short ride and then I throw on a few miles up Blacksmith Fork. Then I threw on a few more and before I knew it I rode it all. I should be so lucky every ride. The ride – Paradise and Blacksmith Fork Canyon The bike – TIME VRS Fluidity
Every road to get to Logan Canyon is closed for some kind of construction except the main one. It’s not my favorite route but I love this place so I do detours. The ride – Logan River Trail The bike – Bianchi Cavaria
This is a Monday favorite. The traffic is low. The road turns to dirt at the dam so I’m forced to turn around and go home. The ride – Nibley, Utah, United States The bike – TIME VRS Fluidity
Second ride on the new spokes and boom another one broke. It’s probably time to re-lace the wheel. The ride – Providence Canyon, Utah The bike – Ripmo
With broken spokes comes an excuse to throw on new tires. My current set of Assegai’s were cracking at the side knobs and I could definitely feel it. New tires are a luxury. They stick like spider webs and refine the up and the down. I love them. The ride – Providence Canyon, Utah The bike – Ripmo
Blacksmith Fork roars like a lion in the morning. Today was especially loud. It was a push all the way the lower sections with the wind screaming in my ears. Of all the forces that slow you down the wind is the worst. It sucks out my biking soul. Only the spectacular vision of scenery and hum of tires on asphalt motivate me past it.
I collected one. The ride – Paradise, Utah The bike – Bianchi Cavaria
I climbed up to Porcupine, then Raspberry Hill, then up West Paradise. There is no fame in the climbs but they will raise your heart. The ride – Nibley, Utah, United States The bike – TIME VRS Fluidity
