Leafs so nice I rode it twice
There’s a giant downed log on the top loop that keeps hitting me in the head. The concussions inspired me to apply the mileage to two rounds in the trail to drink in the full colors of Autumn. The Ripmo and I met people, chatted, chewed up some dirt and marbles and then we dropped some psi and found grip where previously there was none.
Colorful Distraction
We took a Sunday drive up Providence Canyon and destroyed a tire resulting in chaos and driving a spare where a spare should never be driven. Today the Ripmo and I sought revenge but Autumn is just to pretty in these mountains and we ended up shooting a bunch of photos instead. The ride – Providence Canyon The bike – Ibis Ripmo

Fields of Gold
The sun flowers are in full bloom in Providence Canyon. The temperatures are dropping just a bit and the rain last night left the trails in a very nice packed condition. The ride – Providence Canyon The bike – Ibis Ripmo
Devil of a ride
Paused to take a photo and noticed the Garmin registered 6.66. I road 4 suffer circles so it seemed fitting. The ride – Providence Canyon The bike – Ibis Ripmo
RIP Ripley (rear shifter)
I was planning on spending some quality time with the Ripley this morning. I did all the usual things like air the tires and lube the chain and then took off. The Ripley has Crank Brothers double shot pedals. I thought I was being smart and using some flat pedals that my son could ride without being clipped while still having a cleat that I
