Autumn in the Canyon

I Think I CANyons Benefit Ride

Got the following email from local Utah rider Alex Rock this afternoon. Seems like a great cause, so reposting in the hopes of generating some interest for the ride.

For those that don’t already know, I am planning a charity bicycle ride this summer to raise money for the Fourth Street Clinic (an organization that [...]

2010 Ride #27

View Ascent activity on 04-Jul-10 at 02:38PM in a larger map

Legs said “Woohoo!”; lungs said “Fuck you, and the bike you rode in on!” … forgot to dope up this morning, and the asthma definitely kicked the shit out of me today, especially on the climb from Cotton Bottom up to the mouth of [...]

20th East to Sunnyside to Emigration to the summit of Little Mountain, then Wasatch to the mouth of Big Cottonwood Canyon, dropped the Old Mill, then Holladay Blvd home. 38.15 miles (longest of the season thus far), 2537 feet of climbing (most vertical of [...]

Another snow day

Another fun day playing in the snow with the Trask family, in town for a visit from Los Angeles. Today we went up Big Cottonwood Canyon again for sledding, snow fort building, and of course snowball fights. Of course, the only photos I took were of the scenery.

Saturday was supposed to be a ski day, but unfortunately, the tiny little headache I woke up with on turned into a [...]

2009 Ride #7 (Mission 1 Accomplished)

View Larger Map

Mission 1 accomplished … climbed to the top of Emigration Canyon for the first time this season today. Of course, now I am completely knackered. Legs hurt (a good thing). Tummy hurts (not a good thing). Head hurts (also not a good thing … probably a bit dehydrated still). But the aches [...]

Sad realizations

As I was driving home tonight, the alpenglow over the Wasatch was incredible, especially between Big and Little Cottonwood Canyons on … and then I came to the very sad realization that after 7 years of living along the Wasatch Front, I still don’t know the names of most of the mountains … and half [...]

Craziness!

This is turning out to be an absolutely crazy avalanche season …

First there was the inbounds avalanche at Snowbird a couple weeks ago; then an inbounds avalanche at Jackson Hole kills a skier this past Saturday. Another inbounds avalanche today at Jackson Hole didn’t hurt anyone, but damaged one [...]
