Price is right!


So, I went back to Price and decided to do the whole deal this time, all the trails showing in the map, and it was hardcore.  Last time, in March, I did just Luke's and S'mo Joes, it was fun but i was wondering what is it like going further north.  Going north had more climbing and more technical kind of features.


The trails further out north were Meads Rim, Floating Rocks, Lollipop, Shamrock and Roll, and Yoo Hoo.
They were all awesome, except for Yoo Hoo, which was a worn down trail that nobody rides anymore and cows destroyed most of the trail.  I should have tooken Floating Rocks back down but oh well.  I did walk most of Yoo Hoo on the way back.


 Floating Rocks was a fun climb all the way up but it would have been a fun, fast downhill if I took it instead of Yoo Hoo.  But maybe next time!


 At the end of Lollipop which was the north point, it had good views of the town of Kenilworth.  Didn't know there was a town there.  It was cool.  I stopped there for a while and ate a snack.

On the way back, I took Shamrock and Roll and that was my favorite part of the trail system.  It was fun, fast, kind of stuff and had some switchbacks and still had some good views as I rode along the ridge.  Then after that was Yoo Hoo which I should have never taken.  But after Yoo Hoo, I took the ride back on S'mo Joes and that was really fun.  I remember I got so tired and my hands felt fatigue and I got sick.  But after 13 miles of total ride and 2 hours, I made it, and it was hot.  I couldn't wait to cool down at the top of Skyline at Fairview Canyon on the way home.  It was nice and cool there.  It was a fun ride and since it's getting hot there, it's probably time to bike in the mountains where it's cooler.
