Spin Cycle Mountain Bike Trail Blast!

Yes, we went to Deer Valley again. We went up there for Becky's birthday and it was on her birthday. I went mountain biking in Deer Valley/Deer Crest area while mom and Becky shopped. We all had fun but I think I had the funnest though. This time I went down the Spin Cycle Trail in the Deer Crest area of Deer Valley Resort and went up the Pipeline Trail back to the Snow Park Lodge area. I did two laps and it took me 1 hour and 45 minutes. It was a good pure fun ride. The bottom of the Spin Cycle Trail had some kind of ravine and the trail went up and down like a snowboarder on a halfpipe. I call the section "mountain biker's halfpipe". That was definitely my favorite part of the ride. The climb of the Pipeline Trail was a good climb and a great workout! I have a Spring City Road Ride next weekend with some other people to do a 50 miler, all I have to do is pay $5 for the t-shirt and go ride and have fun. BUT, I rather go mountain biking, I am going because my counselor asked me to come. I hope it will still be fun though. Then Aug. 2, I am planning to mountain bike some more in Snowbasin Resort near Ogden. Keep biking while summer lasts!
This damn huge 22 story hotel is in the way! UUUUUGGGG! You can see the trail right there and I wonder what's going to happen when the building is finished. All well, the Spin Cycle trail goes right through people's million dollar backyards and I am sure the motel people will let this trail ride by too. Park City is like the most bike friendly people I know but I still think they are ignorant. You know? Rich folk.
