Get Off My Trail
With the mountains painted in Autumn leaves I’ve ignored the road bike. I took it out this morning to enjoy the crisp morning air. The ride to Porcupine was perfect and then there were cows in a trailer pooping all over the road. There is no escaping the bovine excrement. The ride – Porcupine Dam, Utah The bike – TIME VRS Fluidity
Everyone made it all the way to the top of Green Canyon. The ride – Green Canyon The bike – Ripmo
Bren took over Callie’s bike so I got her another one. This is the first time we’ve all been out together in a while. The ride – Jardine Juniper Trail The bike – Ripmo
Nice, easy slow up and down. Taking in the last bits of Autumn. The ride – Green Canyon, Utah The bike – Ripmo
The trail is a like a magic carpet of color. The temperatures are perfect. My legs are recovered enough to enjoy a bunch of loops on Providence. Life is good. The ride – Providence Canyon, Utah The bike – Ripmo
Logan Canyon does not disappoint. The ride – Paradise, Utah The bike – TIME VRS Fluidity
The Fall colors are spectacular and we continue to have perfect weather. I very well might have died and have been rewarded with MTB heaven. The ride – Providence Canyon, Utah The bike – Ripmo
My legs are still shot from the Little Baldy Loop and the subsequent leg cramps but days this beautiful are too few so the quads had to push through the pain. The ride – Logan River Trail The bike – TIME VRS Fluidity
Fall days are short. We had enough time to get up the trail before the sun disappeared and when rode out in the dark. It builds character. The ride – Logan River Trail The bike – Ripmo

The not to hard bits are the portions I’ve never ridden. Those parts always end up being harder than I think they will be. I’ve watched a lot of locals make this loop
