January Joke




Is this a January joke? Holy cow, never thought in this world I would see some dust in Ephraim, UT in the middle of January. Yesterday, I went up to Black Hill Wildlife Management Area to do some mountain biking. Amazingly, this dry winter made this place unusual. I have ridden my mountain bike on these trails in February like 4 or 5 years ago but never in January. I had a blast though. Logged in 8.75 miles in 55 minutes. The trails were fun but not as fun as some trails I have been riding on in St. George this winter but heck, they are right in my backyard. There were a few spots with snow and mud on the north slopes but ridable.





I guess they have officially called these trails "trails" since a group of motorbikers made them in the past few years and the state put signs up. I don't know if mountain bikers are allowed on them though. Since motorbikers are riding on some mountain bike trails which mountain bikers made in other places around here, I guess I could. Got to share!
