Summer is here and the days are hot which means my rides have moved into the early morning. The first light of day is the best time to ride. The sun lights the flowers and the mountains just right and it feels like heaven. The ride – Logan Canyon River Trail The bike – Bianchi Cavaria

Cooling off in the canyon

Posted on August 28, 2024August 28, 2024 TheBikeCrank

Morning meetings mean no morning ride which means afternoon ride which still means sweating like crazy in the heat. Logan Canyon is still the place to go to drop a few degrees and prevent baking your buns. The ride – Providence, Utah The bike – Bianchi Cavaria

Morning inspiration

Posted on August 6, 2024August 6, 2024 TheBikeCrank

My legs did not enjoy fighting the Logan canyon wind. It’s like a invisible barrier that guards Shangri-la. Once you hit the trail the wind is gone and the magic of this place flows over you. This ride is an inspirational beginning to your morning. The ride – Providence, Utah The bike – Bianchi Cavaria
