St. George Addiction

Went back, definitely. Since I am not doing much work this month because construction work is always slow during the winter. So, I am not going to sit on my butt and do nothing. It's cold in Ephraim and warm in St. George, I went to St. George to bike. This time I've decided to do the Rim Rock trail series. The 7 miles of trails consist of Rim Reaper, Rim Rambler, Rim Runner, and Rim Rock, plus the connector trail. They are all in the Santa Clara Desert Preserve which was a pretty area. Distance: 13.5 miles Time: 1.5 hours Lot's of climbing!

The next day, I decided to finish off my biking trip by riding on Stucki Springs/Snakepit Loop again, this time I did it backwards. This direction has way more climbing but I needed it! What a blast, I am still thinking about it right now and I am also worn out. Stucki Springs: Miles-19.25 Time-2 hours.
