Another great ride!

My weekend extended another day because there was nothing to do at work today, we are completely done with the Aztec project so hopefully the wood for the next project came today to start on tomorrow. I will go back to work for sure tomorrow though. It was just a perfect day to not work, it was 69 degrees today in Sanpete County! So, I definitely went on a huge road ride today. My legs are still sore from the St. George mountain bike ride so I kept my heart rate below 150 today. I started at 5 mile junction and went on the backroad to Spring City, then to Mount Pleasant, then up the Whispering Pines Road. Then rode all the way back to the car. I logged in like 35 miles in 2 and a half hours. The Whispering Pines was the best part, the picture above is Whispering Pines Road and it is a good climbing road. The last part is really steep. But I have to say, I still love mountain biking soooo much better, but the road ride was a good relaxing ride.

Kicked my own ass in St. George....

Oooooooh! What a grand time! Kickin' my own ass in St. George over the weekend! I got a great sun tan on my arms and legs(tan lines on them). So warm down there, about 75 degrees, just perfect. It was really crowded in the city of St. George but when I went out on the trails, it was heaven. My bike handled great on the Green Valley Race Course, lot's of singletrack! I did two great laps and I'd definitely do it again. I am thinking of going down there again while my boss is installing cabinets in Aztec, NM for a few days sometime in the next week or two. I can just go down there alone and stay in a Super 8($50 a night), then ride the trail again the next morning. It will be a weekday, so it won't be as bad though. There's no place to ride up here yet! There's still snow on the ground. While I was riding the trails in St. George, I had my new action camera on my helmet but the camera was down to low and it video taped too much of the trail but not looking ahead, so I fixed the problem, I mounted it on the handlebars and tested it and everything, so it's ready to go! I hadn't had a fun time in a long time!
