Back To Mountain Springs

Friday afternoon my friend Eugene wanted to ride out of Mountain Springs. I figured I may as well get one more ride in before snow makes it impassible. Here's a photo of Eugene and his wheels. Good thing we took lights because it was way dark by the time we got back to the cars.

Mountain Springs Ride 11/19/2010

My buddy Brandon and I started at Mountain Springs Bar and rode up to the overlook. It's about 5 miles one way but it's pretty brutal. Great view from the overlook though.

New Bike!

Just got a new set of wheels. A 2010 Giant Trance X3. Been waiting a while for this baby. I've been out on a short ride but I plan on putting it through it's paces this weekend.

Gooseberry Mesa Trip

Tomorrow me and some of the guys are headed up to Goosberry Mesa outside Hurricane Utah. This will be my first trip up there. JT at JT's Bike Shop is letting me use their Giant Trance X1 demo bike for the day. I am stoked!

Got in rides this Saturday & Sunday. Saturday sucked! Rained most of the ride and turned into a mudfest. Sunday was actually pretty nice. No rain and the trails were in good shape.

Went out today expecting rain but other than being a bit cold, the trails were perfect. Rode (and walked) up the steep side of The Hurl, down the winding single track over the other side and did a loop back to Blue Diamond. Got in about 11.5 miles between rain storms.

Still riding my 1997 Specialized Ground Control Comp. (Only original parts are the frame and the cranks.) Hoping for a Yeti 575 soon!
