We don’t always get along but this bike is a beast. It climbs like a goat, descents like the devil and wanders like a drunk.
My first interaction with the Ripmo was not awesome but we’re learning to get along.
Latest ventures with the Ibis Ripmo
- A touch of snow
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 - It’s getting brisk
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 - Oh deer it’s cold
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 - The perfect Fall day
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 - Turkeys are ugly
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. Instead, I see it in town while riding to the canyon. Today a group of wild turkeys reminded me that turkeys are really ugly. The ride – Providence Canyon, Utah The bike – - Green is good
Most of the leafs are on the ground now which makes for a colorful, crunchy carpet. Green was a great time today. The ride – Green Canyon, Utah The bike – Ripmo - Birch, it’s been a while
Birch is not close to my house and so I almost never ride it. I felt the need to tackle it at least one time this season and today being a Friday and my legs still being week it was the perfect opportunity. It’s not a hard or especially technical ride. I clocked 5 miles top to bottom. Nothing was so strenuous that I couldn’t - Climbing penance for all MTB sins
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 - And then the trees where like it’s time to leaf
It’s magic carpet season. Enjoy the crispy, crunchy trail rides while you can. The ride – Providence Canyon, Utah The bike – Ripmo - Fall with family
We burned up the last rays of daylight on the River trail enjoying the waning colors and perfect Fall weather. The ride – Jardine Juniper Trail The bike – Ripmo - Green family
Everyone made it all the way to the top of Green Canyon. The ride – Green Canyon The bike – Ripmo - All of us together
Bren took over Callie’s bike so I got her another one. This is the first time we’ve all been out together in a while. The ride – Jardine Juniper Trail The bike – Ripmo
