Providence Canyon

Providence Canyon is the closest trail to my house so I ride it all the time. Luckily for me it is also one of my favorite trails of all time. The trails gnomes have don’t an amazing job building a really fun trail. They also spend a ton of time maintaining it.

I ride a few miles of asphalt from my house to get to the trail. When I first started I would drive to the trailhead. Then realized that was stupid. A bike is a great form of transportation. Why put it in a truck and drive when you can cover the same distance in not much more time. Also, there isn’t a ton of parking and on busy days the parking lot can be full. By riding I can ensure I don’t waste time looking for a spot.

I do ride the trail year round. Here’s what it looks like.

    I love new tires
    With broken spokes comes an excuse to throw on new tires. My current set of Assegai’s were cracking at the side knobs and I could definitely feel it. New tires are a luxury. They stick like spider webs and refine the up and the down. I love them. The ride – Providence Canyon, Utah The bike – Ripmo
