Get Off My Trail
It’s starting to get hot during the day. It rained last night. I decided to seize the moment between rain and getting hot. I ran the usual loops and came across this guy. Always nice to have traveling companion. The ride – Providence Canyon The bike – Ibis Ripmo
A crazy day of meetings and general work meant I didn’t ride until evening. I can’t complain the temperature was in the 70s and even though the trail was a bit busier than if you hit in in the early hours there wasn’t a terrible amount of congestion.

Took and evening ride with Devin. We had a great time. He was climbing hard. We got to the top and his front tire was totally deflated. The sealant had dried out leaving him with a slow leak. Luckily, another ride lent us a pump. He managed to get half way down but was robbed from the full downhill experience when the front tire finally
With a lot of clouds, a bit of cold and a touch of wind I headed out for a couple of loops in Providence Canyon. I could hear a few drops hitting the leafs around me but I wasn’t getting wet and the trail wasn’t getting muddy. I like those kids of days. On the second round I started to feel the sting of tiny
I had intended to take it easy on the climb but then a kid passed me and my stupid kicked in.

Felt good so I kept riding loops. The Ripmo really likes the current trail conditions. Also, while flying down the trails I hit a fairly large bee with my front tooth. That is a strange experience.

As far as mountain bike days go it doesn’t get better than today. Perfect temperature. Perfect dirt. Perfect conditions. I finished 5 laps and could have gone for more but at some point you have to go home. The ride – Providence Canyon The bike – Ibis Ripmo
Having not ridden outside yesterday I felt the need to make up for my mistakes with two rides. Ride one was for me. Providence Canyon was busy but in perfect condition. I frequently make multiple loops at the top but today was about going fast and getting back so we could do ride number two. That’s the one where I take my sons and let
After months in the shop waiting on parts I managed to get my Ripmo back this week. I’ve been waiting for the Canyon’s to dry out and since the River Trail seemed pretty perfect yesterday I was hoping Providence Canyon would be perfect today. Turns out it was perfect. Everyone else had the same thought. It was a busy day for riders. It was also
