2010 Ride #32 (Chasing “Time”)

View Ascent activity on 31-Jul-10 at 09:39AM in a larger map

It was definitely a semi Emi day today … felt okay for not being on the bike for 2 weeks, but was definitely feeling it in my legs and lungs.

Saw a friend and her husband (at least, I’m pretty sure it was them, [...]

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 [...]

Hey look! I did Emigration Canyon again! Can someone please explain to me how chip seal gets WORSE as it’s driven on and packed down?

Emigration to Little Mountain summit. Legs felt good, lungs felt okay, but did have to hit the asthma inhaler a couple of times. The chip seal in Emigration Canyon is a little rough, but not nearly as bad as I’ve seen elsewhere.

It was [...]

Actually felt better on Sunday than Saturday, despite not getting enough sleep Saturday night due to social obligations; hence the longer climb up Emigration Canyon.

Now, shower, and then likely back [...]

Emigration Canyon. Legs felt great. Lungs not so much; one of these days I’ll be fit enough again that both legs and lungs will feel good on the same day, possibly even at the same time!

Tired legs, heavy, tight … from riding the fixed gear yesterday? Not sure, but I made myself climb Emigration, and push through the tightness in my right quad, and was rewarded with with is always a great view.

Mountain Dell from Little Mountain [...]

Emigration to Pinecrest. Felt like crap; my lungs were NOT cooperating today in the slightest, even after stopping to take a couple hits off the inhaler.

I did get a nice waffle hand-up from my friend Waffles, as she and another friend drove [...]
