Memorial Day Weekend


During Memorial Day weekend, I went up with my parents to Tooele to see the graves of my relatives, like my grandparents, etc.  We put flowers on them and visited somebody while we were there.  Then we went to my sister's in the Ogden area to spend the weekend.  I took my bike to do some trails near there.


This area is one of my favorites because it's so pretty.  It's near Eden which is in Ogden Canyon.  The trails I like to ride are called "Mule Ear" and "Mule Shoe" trails.  There's hardly anybody there usually and it was very nice especially during Memorial Day weekend.


I did this same ride last year during Memorial Day weekend and last year didn't turn out so great because I didn't feel so good so I walked up most of it.  This year I completely rode the whole thing and taking a few breaks while riding.  I did way better this time.  Plus I rode a lot more, so I did a little bit of Cutler Flats trails also and then did Mule Shoe again. It was great and the weather was perfect.





My sister lives right by a rail trail which is called the "Rio Grande Rail Trail", so the next day I just did a cruise on this paved trail.  It was a very nice ride and there were quite of bit of joggers, walkers, skateboarders, and cyclists.  I went on this for 31 miles and it was mainly flat.  It was a very nice cruise and comfortable.
