I managed to race and beat a dump truck right up until the turn off. Racing a dump truck isn’t saying much since they are slow but at my age I take what I can. The

I rode to Paradise thinking I would do a short ride and then I throw on a few miles up Blacksmith Fork. Then I threw on a few more and before I knew it I rode it all. I should be so lucky every ride. The ride – Paradise and Blacksmith Fork Canyon The bike – TIME VRS Fluidity
