I got my bike on Thursday at work. It was a little before lunch, and it was just barely within my view of my peripheral vision. It was driving me nuts! Just seeing it all packed up in a big brown box…I had to do something about it, so during my lunch, I freed it!…

  What a great trip! I took off on Wednesday to avoid some of the incoming storms. I didn’t like driving for endless hours through rainy, cold weather on my last trip, so skipping it for this one was nice. I headed to Mesquite NV to stay at one of the casino hotels down there…

  Saturday was the last day I could use my season pass at Snowbasin. It’s kind of sad that my summer’s now officially over. Bad weather’s here, and the trails are all muddy as of this morning, thanks to a nice little storm coming through. Tomorrow all the trails I rode this weekend will be…

I guess after having made it as far up as I could go at SnowBasin, the only logical thing to do next was to start lower and try to get to the top, to do that you start at the Wheeler Canyon trailhead right next to the Pineview Reservoir dam. Wheeler Canyon is a wide…

After weeks & weeks of climbing the mountain I finally climbed all the way to the top. I wasn’t planning on going all the way, but once I saw the Needles lodge, I knew I’d be very disappointed if I didn’t get there. For this ride I took the Needles Trail from the parking lot…

Snowbasin is becoming a welcome retreat this summer with the heat that the valley’s have been having. The increased electric bill for keeping my place cool is proof enough of that. It’s totally worth the 30 minute drive up there (40 minutes if someone drives the canyon at 25 mph). I’ve been going up 3-4…

This was my 2nd attempt to ride the race loop. The first time I forgot my GPS & the coordinates for the turnoffs from the double track to single track. I don’t know if they still use this trail for racing, but if they do, it doesn’t look like it’s been raced on lately. You…

Well, I broke down and bought a summer season pass to Snowbasin. Not bad at $110. The gondola is only open Fri-Sun + different occasions, however, so you’re kind of limited to what you can do up there depending on the day. Green Pond Loop Trail: On my latest excursion I did the entire Green Pond…

  Snowbasin has been open in the summer to mountain biking for what I believe is the 2nd year. My first time biking in the area involved a ride up Wheeler Canyon, and continuing on up a trail which leads to the lower parking lot at Snowbasin. From there we took the Old Snowbasin Highway…

  My spring birthday vacation has come and gone. April 15-17 in Moab; what a blessed place. I had planned on biking, hiking, whitewater, and golf and managed to get all of those in during the 3 day trip. Since I was carrying a lot of gear, and I hate moving anything I don’t want…
