Toddler Nap

   Kiddo finally took a nap and off I went for a one hour quit to fill. It was a nice day and I am sure being Saturday it would be a mess. Being the middle of the day it turned out to be ok once I cleared the lower trails and got out on my own it was quite nice. Go Ride had a demo that I wish I got in on, I have been dying to try a Santa Cruz Bronson. Good ride to end the week.

Proper

Finally feeling somewhat speedy this week, Friday called for a morning ride and 20 miles was the Doctors order. Corner Canyon was close and offered me to get home as fast as I could when done. This was a fun loop, somewhere along the trail I think was Clarks it smelled of breakfast, my stomach was hungry and I can't ever remember smelling breakfast so close before, oh man I am hungry now just thinking about it.

Quick

Normal 30 minute pull on Landons shorter school day, nothing fancy, just a lap. Got tickets to Rampage next week!

Herman Black Ridge

Really pretty morning on the bike, Herriman was a ablaze in the city background as I tore through it. I head for Black Ridge on pavement due to the no trespassing on the fire break trail, I totally forgot to utilize the Black ridge trail lately. I climbed up Black Ridge and was very much enjoying the change in scenery. The DH was over shortly and then it was two laps down low to finish out the ride while Landon was in school.

Utah Valley

   Been getting a little bored of the trails around lately, the good ones in decent driving distance anyway, I ventured out to Pleasant Grove and rode an area I have ridden some in and some never have. Starting at a different start point meant dirt roads all over the place to get to the familiar trail that I did know. No big deal, fast pedaling is always welcome, I did find some single track but it was likely a game trail that another MTBr took since I saw the tire so I did too. Climbing this area was pretty tiring, not to mention I was feeling lazy. It took way longer than I expected to reach the crop circle trails. By the time I did get there I did a little loop and then I had to head back. I had less time after the drive and needed to be home. I also forgot to hit the start button into the ride so lost some tracked miles, Doohhhh! Not very exciting but a monday ride is a win!

Quick Corner Canyon

   Kiddo has been waking early lately so I made this one shorter to allow more sleep for myself and more help when I get home. An hour was just enough for plenty of fun!

Back from Disney chaos

     Got back from our California trip and was worn out but anxious to be back on the trail. I got a shot to ride in the afternoon and I took it. As I rode the clouds darkened and the thunder began to roll, after 20 minutes I was forced to head down since I was not messing with lightening, bummed but nice to see a change in the weather and offer some tacky trails. It soon poured and I drove home bummed but glad I got some in.
