For Labor Day, all I wanted to do is not work. Had somebody asked me to help them out on that day already but I said, "Nope, going to be gone." All I wanted to do is go on a bike ride, a fun one. I decided to go up north with my mom and she said she would wait for me while I go on my ride. We went up to American Fork Canyon and there was a LOT of people. Once I got on the trail and trailhead, it wasn't so bad. While I went on a ride, my mom sat on a lawn chair in the shade and read a book, which she enjoyed.
The trail I did was called Deer Creek South Fork Loop. It consisted around 7 miles long and all singletrack. The first part of it was all climbing and was tough. Then I got on Ridge 157 Trail with up and down riding with AWESOME views of Timpanogus Mountain and other places.
The singletrack was not too technical and was mostly hardpack but very fun. I loved my new Maxxis Crossmark and Ignitor tires.
Some of Timpanogus Mountain.
There are a lot other trails up there. The bad side is that you got to pay a fee to get in the canyon but thank goodness my mom had a senior citizen National Parks pass. So we got in free. I guess you got to always pay to ride on some good trails, oh well.
The last part of the loop was all downhill. Lot's of fast turns and whoops through the pine trees and aspens. Great fun!!! Anyways, after we were done, we met my sister at Olive Garden in Sandy to eat.
