Park City Part 2


My mom and little sister decided to go to Park City to do some shopping and stay overnight for their birthdays(their birthdays are 2 days apart).  I butted in and wanted to do some bike riding.  We went there on Saturday and shopped around.  I bought some cool Pearl Izumi apparel at a good price and we ate good food.  Then Sunday morning I went on a big ride just north of the motel, at Snyderville Basin area.   All I had to do was ride from the motel which was nice.  There's good singletrack bike trails called Stealth, Flying Dog, Glenwild, etc.


These pictures I took were at the top of the mountain where I climbed on my bike.  The trail was like 8 miles to the top and about 8 miles down on the other side.  I went up good and without stopping which was a good achievement for me because I haven't done that for a while.  I did it like in one hour and 19 minutes to the top from the bottom.  Not the best time like what the pros do but pretty good for myself.  The trail was perfect too, not too steep and at a great moderate incline.  About 3 to 4% average grade.  The climb was my favorite part of the ride and the downhill was also fun to ride.  This is one of my favorite rides in the Park City area but I am starting to think it's my favorite ride in Park City, but I don't know really, I also like the Jenni's/Spiro Loop.  But they are all good.  And when I came back down and checked out the motel, we at a pizza place and I had a good plate full of spaghetti, yummy!  Good reward!
