After seeing the majesty of Mt. Nebo, above Payson and Santaquin, Utah yesterday, I had to find a good mountain poem for today … and where better to turn than the poetry of China?

An unending green of north and south, ethereal beauty Change-Maker [...] View Larger Map Yesterday was not a good day on the bike … my legs felt tight from the beginning (which is nothing new), and since spinning easy before pushing myself usually loosens things up, I headed up towards Emigration. This was a mistake, I think. I could never really find a decent rhythm (slow [...] 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 [...] Flyer picked up at the Last Call / Utah Cyclocross Series Awards Party tonight: ‘Cross to Cross Country Skate ski clinic for ‘cross racers Just like cyclocross, cross country skiing is a technical sport.

My motivation levels are near-nil, and I find that right now I’m basically just on cruise control. I wake up, I go to [...] Is it cheesy to crib a post for your own blog from comments that you’ve left on someone else’s? Fastgrrrl wrote today about having a sense of place, and how places leave their mark on people.
