Get Off My Trail
Blacksmith Fork roars like a lion in the morning. Today was especially loud. It was a push all the way the lower sections with the wind screaming in my ears. Of all the forces that slow you down the wind is the worst. It sucks out my biking soul. Only the spectacular vision of scenery and hum of tires on asphalt motivate me past it.
I climbed up to Porcupine, then Raspberry Hill, then up West Paradise. There is no fame in the climbs but they will raise your heart. The ride – Nibley, Utah, United States The bike – TIME VRS Fluidity
Our public lands are back on the for sale list with the latest wording from the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee.

The River Trails clears of snow pretty early each year giving the Bianchi and I a good excuse to get out and enjoy the Spring weather. The ride – Paradise, Utah The bike – TIME VRS Fluidity
The ride was perfect except for the little bit of trying to get through Millville where every road is torn up and destroyed. They were digging up the road and routed cars through someones front yard – sending traffic across their lawn! It’s a hot mess. The ride – Paradise, UT The bike – TIME VRS Fluidity
