Road and Dirt
I got out today for 2.5 hours of pavement pounding, mixed up by a bit of dirt on the Bonneville Shorline Trail. It was a nice bag of tricks for an afternoon ride. I felt good to. Well, the first event of the season is this Saturday. It looks like this will be a fun […]
Old College Try
I went out today and rode what I call the “college loop”. Named such because I ride through the campus of both BYU and UVSC. There are many different routes, paths and versions of the loop. Today was a mostly flat recovery ride. I had scheduled to ride about 4 hours today, but I awoke […]
The Stairway to Pain
I have ridden this road before. But it is a horrible road that leads to nothing. It is steep, rocky and rutted. So it has been avoided for a long time. Until yesterday when I got the idea that would it would make a great training climb. So I venured to the bottom of what […]

Parkway Trail
