....top of Sindwinder Trail in the Santa Clara Preserve
On a cold day of December 30th....not! I went down to St. George, UT where it was really warm and nice. So, I went and did some solid mountain biking on some trails I have never done. The first day I did the Sidewinder Trail climb, Barrel Roll Loop, and Precipice. Sidewinder was all switch backs all the way to the top of a hill with a good view at the top. Then I went ahead and did Barrel Roll, so fun and technical, lot's of drops and also good climbing. Total miles: 11.25 Time: 1.5 hours
Barrel Roll....
Stucki Springs Trail has been around for a long time and it is well over-used. I did this and Snakepit the next day. This was my first time on Stucki Springs and I thought it was a fun, fast speed, roller coaster ride. I was trying to look for Snakepit Trail but I couldn't find it, they didn't put up signs for this trail yet. So, I did the whole Stucki Springs Loop then found Snakepit Rim and Snakepit and the south side of Stucki Springs Loop. I went ahead and did Snakepit Rim and Snakepit and they were a blast. Total miles: 19.25 miles. Time: 2 hours. One more thing, I thought I saw a 5 year old on a bike with training wheels going down the 3 Fingers of Death section on Bear Claw Poppy Trail. Is it true?....or was I seeing things? I don't know but that kid was brave.
