Spring City Pioneer Day 50 Mile Bike Ride...

My counselor from Spring City invited me to come to ride in the Pioneer Day road ride today. So I thought it would be fun and worth it and it was. There were about 15 people that showed up and they could choose to do a 12 miler, 30 miler, or 50 miler. Six people including me decided to do the 50 mile ride. It was from Spring City towards Mt. Pleasant, up to the power plant park in Mt. Pleasant(which was a good climb), then on the backroads to Fairview, then to Milburn, and all the way back to Spring City. It was a good ride! I rode with a guy named Bill and he's from Fairview and he is an experienced road rider and I could barely keep up with him. We were the first two guys that got back. He was a good climber. He said he bought a mountain bike a few weeks ago and I told him about the trails in Ephraim Canyon and I will have to take him there. It was perfect weather when we started at 8:30 in the morning and it was nice until we finished at 11:30. It took us three hours to ride and I really enjoyed it. Next weekend will be mountain biking in Snowbasin Resort near Ogden and I can't wait!
