Get Off My Trail
I rode Providence and then had to get back into cell range. I figured I would ride up on the Bonneville Shoreline trail to take the call. Then since I was there I decided to ride over to Millville canyon. Since I was there I thought I’d just go up to the gate. When I got to the gate it seemed a shame to not
Dev made it to the top despite being a teenager who would prefer to sleep in on Saturdays. The ride – Green Canyon, Utah The bike – Ripmo
It started with a few loops on Providence and then a need to get cell service so I could take a call. I had time after that so I took the Bonneville shoreline trail. I still had time and as I was at the bottom of the trail into Dry Canyon I started climbing. My memory told me that this was a tough climb. I

I and the Bianchi took a joyride into Logan Canyon on our favorite route. My daughter had a booth in Summerfest and so I ended my ride with a visit to tell her hi. The fish painting on the top right turned out to be a huge hit. The ride – Providence, Utah, United States The bike – Bianchi Cavaria
I saw another rider do this loop on Strava. I had heard rumors of the wildflowers so I wanted to follow in their footsteps. This was to be a slightly technical climb with mind blowing visual rewards. The mountains are covered in a sea of gold with tiny islands of purple and red. The ride – Mud Flats loop in reverse The bike – Ripmo
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
It’s funny how photos never capture elevation changes. That is a ten foot drop into a ravine that is part of the upper loop in Providence. It’s fun. This morning I managed 59:30 from my house to the very top of the trail just below the old quarry. It nearly killed me. My legs complained on every subsequent loop. I wouldn’t trade it. Nothing beats
I’m headed to a conference for the rest of the week so I didn’t feel the need to cut the ride short. Not often, but often enough your heart and legs feel like they could run forever. I could have just kept going and wished I had the time to do so. The ride – Porcupine Dam, Utah The bike – TIME VRS Fluidity
The mountains called and I could no longer resist. Skull Crack started easy, turned into a pretty good climb, rewarded me with spectacular views and then stabbed me in the leg. It’s a very overgrown trail and I’m guessing it doesn’t see a lot of wheeled traffic. The branches from low scrub oak grab and scratch at your arms and legs. One rogue branch caught
North Fork Park is a great introduction to the pure joy of riding a trail because the trail is awesome. We started on Spork which is MTB only and directional depending on the day. These guys showed no fear or any drop or switchback. There are climbs but they don’t last so long that they wear out my youngest. After Spork we rode 365 and
