Get Off My Trail
I had heard rumors of new dirt and I had seen the Strava evidence. Undeterred by the E-bike labels I determined to make a loop up Providence and then take a slight detour to check out the fabled new route with my own eyes. An hour later, my legs crying for mercy, I discovered This is brand new dirt. Like you can see the shovel
Today’s ride was beautiful with a few moments of carefully guiding the Ripmo through the landmines left without thought or care by our equestrian friends. I think everyone should have access to public trails but remind me why it’s OK to leave mountains of horse crap right next to a stream? The ride – Providence Canyon The bike – Ibis Ripmo
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
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
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

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
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
I’d heard that the Logan River Trail had dried out enough to ride and so I felt obligated to check it out. Turns out the trail couldn’t be more perfect and the weather couldn’t be better. 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
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
