Single speed, pay to play day
The Forrest Service now requires money to play in Green Canyon despite volunteers doing all the work. I forgot my battery so today was a single speed day. Luckily I left it in a low gear. The ride – Green Canyon, Utah The bike – 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.

It’s getting brisk

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
