Happy Independence Day!
Took a super short ride up Providence Canyon before the festivities of the day begin. The cows are gone. I will celebrate independence from being splattered with poop. The ride – Providence Canyon, Utah The bike – Ripmo

Bovine bulldozers are back
My least favorite time of the year for Providence Canyon.

Splash Mountain
The water was back in the dry creek beds again today. I and the Ripmo returned home wet and muddy. The snow must still be melting up high.

Broke My Bell
I love the Timber Bell. I’ve had quite a few hikers thank me for the ringing that let’s them know an MTB is headed at them at high speed. I won’t ride without them anymore. I break them at a rate of about one per year. This year, this ride was the last of my current bell. Lucky for me the company has a great
