Ahhhh Home

We absolutely love Park City and booked a place for us to stay up there for some fresh air and it turned out to be a great decision! I was armed with my bike for a morning ride and mapped out a ride plan. I was to ride from the place up Dubois nd Robs an then mid mountain over to olmpic and then Moose Puddle and yeti bak up etc. The air was thin and trails was relentless. I climbed and climbed throught maples, aspens and pines while sucking wind. It was breathtaking to be back in my favorite mountains. I reahed mid mountain and the olympic where I would loose all my vertical in a glorious twisting turning manner. Moose Puddle lasted awhile, it hurt knowing how far I had gone was going to have to be ridden back up on yeti. It was tiring but when I reached olmpyic I was pretty stoked. I was not so stoked when my plan to ride more of mid mountain had quite a bit of climbing. With time and legs on my side I slowly made my way towards red coat but missed the turn and ended up on a new to me trail called richochet. Which was a great descent option back to the Canyons village. Arm and fingers were on fire but made it down with a big ol grin on my face, big morning, 20 miles an 3300 ft.

Stretching the legs on a quick one at spanish oaks

After long 10 hour drive I arrive in Spanish Fork at my inlaws. The wife and kiddo who flew were at the water park with cousins and uncle. That left me with a little bit of time. I saw some new trails of my trailforks at the canyon so I went for it. I got pedaling on paved path and my heart and lungs went thru the roof as I headed for dirt. I was very very happy to be out riding. The built some brand new trails and when I got to dirt it was steep freshly cut. I spoted a nice DH trail right next to me and plan was to hit it. I got distracted with another trail and then looped back and rode down the DH trail. Good stuff on a FS bike but fine on mine. I then dropped down kail trail which was rowdy and steep I loved it!

Slowly but surely up n over

I still feel slow as crap this month, I am not sure if my head and heart is just not into it. I fully tested the lungs on Friday with going up and over and back. All went just fine.

Sweaty Mcsweats

Ohhhh Yaaaaaa

After a nassty week with an illness, I was anxious to get back out Monday after some good rest. I felt pretty normal and the ride was pleasant, I took it a little easier and left out the heaviest climb. Saw a line of smoke coming from PHX or Tempe, turns out a train derailed and caught fire. I am so sick of the heat, I can't wait til winter.
