The bunch of us used to ride together more often. That was before they closed Wayne’s loop which still pains me. There wasn’t a better family ride in the valley. My nephew, Everett is leaving to serve a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints for the next two years. It will be a while before this crew rides together again.
My legs did not enjoy fighting the Logan canyon wind. It’s like a invisible barrier that guards Shangri-la. Once you hit the trail the wind is gone and the magic of this place flows over you. This ride is an inspirational beginning to your morning. The ride – Providence, Utah The bike – Bianchi Cavaria
The heat wave is hitting Utah later today but mountain mornings are hard to beat. Devin joined me in a quick excursion into Logan Canyon. We’re lucky to have this kind of beauty just a quick 20 minute ride from the house. The ride – River Trail, Logan Canyon The bike – Bianchi Cavaria
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
Put new tires on the Bianchi and despite the threatening of rain I was compelled to try it out on my traditional Bianchi ride in Logan Canyon. I was rewarded by amazing views, perfect temperatures and hten a hail storm that left me covered in tiny red welts. Good times! 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
When I get on a light mountain bike I feel like I’m riding a rocket. My recent test of the Pivot Mach 4 SL reminded me of how fun a short travel, light mountain bike can be. Then I get on the Bianchi and I remember what a light, rocket really feels like. Coming in at a svelte 16.5 pounds with a bit of wattage
