Get Off My Trail
Devin has been researching the perfect gravel bike (for him) for months. REI put the Cannondale Topstone on sale for $400 off which trigger a trip to Salt Lake to go pick it up. He put in his longest ride ever on it yesterday and his second longest today. Today’s ride was quite a bit of dirt so we’ll call today his toughest ride yet.
The hurricane force winds at the mouth of Logan Canyon keep the timid from entering. However, once you break through the invisible wall the forest meditation is serene. The ride – Logan River Trail The bike – Bianchi Cavaria
Another cold day this week. The afternoon temperature was pretty pleasant for a ride. I would not be found swimming just yet. Logan Canyon remains one of the most beautiful places I have had the pleasure of visiting. The ride – Logan River Trail The bike – Bianchi Cavaria
My rides take longer because I keep stopping to take pictures. The wildflowers are in bloom and the river is running high. The ride – Zwift The bike – Trek Madone 6.9
The Bianchi’s new tires were almost perfect. The rear tire was slightly too wide for the frame so I had to order a slightly more narrow version. It was totally the shop’s mistake but as always I got to pay for it. The ride – Logan River Trail The bike – Bianchi Cavaria
Forgot my water and had to turn around. Riding up the River Trail there were cones and caution tape indicating that someone clearly did not want company on the path. I ended up on the road to by pass the tree trimmers. I use trimmer loosely as on the way back I rode until I came across the trimming team and had to turn around.
A couple of deer were just chillin’ on the canal trail that I ride to get to Logan Canyon. The ride – Logan Canyon River Trail The bike – Bianchi Cavaria
I could not drag my butt out of bed this morning. There are consequences to laziness. In the summer being baked by the Utah sun is my punishment. Of course, the beauty of Logan Canyon is the reward. The ride – Logan River Trail The bike – Bianchi Cavaria
I woke up this morning and thought, “I would really like to beat my brains out against the rocks,” so the Bianchi and I headed to the Logan River trail. It’s so pretty and also covered in loose rock. Today there was lots of new and rather large rock and I wondered if I had missed an earthquake over the weekend. I ended the dirt
Took the Bianchi out today to see how many missed shifts we could rack up together. The Bianchi upped the game by randomly shifting at inopportune moments. It was fun. The ride – Logan Canyon The bike – Bianchi Cavaria
