Still Wet
Still wet so I’m still on Zwift. The Ripmo is in the shop anyway. Hoping to pick it up today and find myself in the canyon again tomorrow. The rides – Zwift The bike – Trek Madone 6.9 on a Wahoo Kickr Smart Trainer

Cold and Wet
The mountains are covered in snow and the trails are wet so I rode Zwift. It’s a small price to pay while the trails dry out for a day. The ride – Zwift The bike – Trek Madone 6.9 on a Wahoo Kickr Smart Trainer
Perfected by angels with a few rocks thrown in by the devil for fun.
As far as mountain bike days go it doesn’t get better than today. Perfect temperature. Perfect dirt. Perfect conditions. I finished 5 laps and could have gone for more but at some point you have to go home. The ride – Providence Canyon The bike – Ibis Ripmo
Making Up For Yesterday
Having not ridden outside yesterday I felt the need to make up for my mistakes with two rides. Ride one was for me. Providence Canyon was busy but in perfect condition. I frequently make multiple loops at the top but today was about going fast and getting back so we could do ride number two. That’s the one where I take my sons and let
Weather People Are the Biggest Liars
I spent the morning tormented trying to decide if I go outside to enjoy the Springtime or if I would need to spend time on Zwift. The weather kept saying 100% chance of rain. I hate riding it the rain. I finally gave up and rode the trainer. Turns out the later part of the day was sunshine and regret. The ride – Zwift The
Is Russia invading Providence Canyon?
After months in the shop waiting on parts I managed to get my Ripmo back this week. I’ve been waiting for the Canyon’s to dry out and since the River Trail seemed pretty perfect yesterday I was hoping Providence Canyon would be perfect today. Turns out it was perfect. Everyone else had the same thought. It was a busy day for riders. It was also
Outside Again

The trees were just starting to bud and the undergrowth has started turning green. The canyon is a magical place any time of year. The ride – Logan River
Back Inside
Too many meetings and an incoming storm left me riding Zwift this morning. Riding might be too strong. It was more like limping through Watopia. My legs were definitely disagreeable. The ride – Zwift The bike – Trek Madone 6.9 on a Wahoo Kickr Smart Trainer
Wind, Sun and the Hum of Asphalt
Right at lunch the sun shone bright, the air was mostly still and for the first time this year I found myself haunting the country and canyon roads of Cache County. There’s something significant about the first ride after a long winter. Sure, I’ve been out in the snow on the fat bike and I love snow biking. Though I’ve been blessed with many first
It’s Raining so Bring the Pain
I joined a 3R race today in the C category. I don’t usually race but it’s raining, I’m inside, I felt decent and so I figured why not. I managed to finish 18th overall which included the A and B racers. I was 4th or 5th among the Cat C guys so I felt pretty good about the experience overall. A couple of observations: The
