Get Off My Trail
First snow bike ride of the season. I don’t like the cold but somehow being on a bike in the snow doesn’t feel cold. The conditions were perfect and the trail was well set in. I’m hoping to find myself here plenty of times while the ground is blanketed in white. The ride – Providence Canyon The bike – Beargrease
Not as cold but still cold. I was hesitant to wear cold weather gear worrying that it would it be hot. I did not regret the extra gear. Winter is coming. The ride – Providence Canyon, Utah The bike – Ripmo
First ride that I resorted to full on cold weather gear. Still froze my fingers and toes. The ride – Providence Canyon, Utah The bike – Ripmo
There aren’t many days with perfect weather, great trail conditions and beautiful surroundings. Today was as good as it gets. The ride – Providence Canyon, Utah The bike – Ripmo
We’re headed out of town for my boy’s Fall break. I had to get in one more ride up Providence Canyon during the perfect weather. I rarely see wildlife in the canyon.

I really like Millville Canyon. It is a hard, relentless climb. It’s a killer but it also means you pretty much have the place to yourself. The views are spectacular – especially this time of year. My legs will be complaining for a few days but what a feast for the eyes! The ride – Providence Canyon, Utah The bike – Ripmo
It’s magic carpet season. Enjoy the crispy, crunchy trail rides while you can. The ride – Providence 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
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
At least once a year I talk myself into a ride that “won’t be that hard”. These rides usually involve starting out with a route I’m familiar with and then extending it.
