I bought another bike. A gravel grinder bike. It's a road bike with bigger tires and has the road feel to it. I can ride on combination of paved roads and dirt roads.
It has 42mm tires and I made them tubeless. It's great and I can go at road bike speed on both pavement and dirt. It gets a little sketchy on loose gravel and I'd rather have my mountain bike on those sections. So there are still some pros and cons on this bike but I like it. I did ride it a lot lately. It's a Cannondale Slate. I like the drivetrain though, 44 tooth in the front and 11-42 in the back.
I rode my mountain bike on the new Jimmy's Fork trail in Ephraim Canyon. I like it and it's a fun trail. There was no one else there and that's what is so good about it. The only downside is that it's only 2 miles long. So I did it 4 times on this ride.
Very pretty and lot's of trees.
The other end.
The Forest Service did some work on some parts to make the trail more rideable. They did a good job.
It was a nice morning and I'll probably ride it more next year. I don't know if I want to ride it this fall with all of the hunters up there but I will for sure next summer.

Duke and I went on a hike up from Willow Creek up to South Fork Creek.
One weekend I went on a road bike ride up little bit of Nebo Loop Road and up to the Bear Canyon campground twice. All because it rained a lot the day before, too muddy for mountain biking.

Then on another weekend, I went up to my sister's house and I did a bike ride on Antelope Island. It was a crappy weekend weather wise but I managed to ride in between rainstorms and windstorms. It was fun. I rode on mountain bike trails I've never ridden before, because of exploring.

On the day after, I rode in the rain on the bike path near my sister's house after church.
I ran into this funny stare-a-cow during one of my evening gravel road rides. I've been having a lot of good gravel road rides on the Slate lately. There are so many gravel roads near Ephraim and that is why I got the bike.
