Today's Ride

Remember driving into the Zion Canyon this time of the year a few years ago. It was full of lavender. The whole canyon smelled like heaven. Great place. Maybe it's from there... ;)

Today-Sunday-An afternoon ride up to some water tanks 850' up above town. Super windy and cooler, about 64 F. and sunny. I took a zoom shot of the top of Oak Manor drive, near my house. It's between 20-30 % grade up to about 700', where a left turn gets you into the dirt and an immediate steep climb in the dirt...

Today-Thursday-Nice out, about 74 F. and sunny. Up Iron Springs road to the Scout Camp today, about 800' climb-then a swing by the bike museum in town to hang out with some friends. Snapped a shot of the bike that Myles Rockwell, a Fairfax boy, won the DH World Championships with in 2000...

took my freshly built raleigh dynatech for a local run to shake it down and get some blood through the legs and air in the lungs. mostly sunny but had a miserable 10 minutes of rain, but soon dried out. trails are mixtures of dry and slop again but hey, thats off road riding eh?

only fell off once in the mud, not bad for me giving my recent crashes :(
