Card – 016 – Mt Logan – Whites – Richards

Another after-work-solo-ride. The weather was perfect, now that it’s getting hot in the valley it sure feels nice up the canyon.

Card is really grown in, the foliage is thick and the dirt is turning to poof powder, especially by “the root” (which I got denied on :/). 016 was awesome, I forgot how much I like that trail… is that trail open now to go all the way through or is the sign just missing from where it was last year?

They’re building a new road to Mt Logan, there was a big scraper and track-hoe up there making a highway to the top, looks like you’ll be able to take a Buick up there by the time they’re done. The new road will bypass the section that goes by the warming hut and rodeo grounds. I went up the regular way and came back on the new construction road to check it out, thus the loop on that section of the map below.

Richards has a new beaver dam close to the first water crossing that is starting to flow over and wash out the trail. Met a guy from Providence on a trials bike that was out checking his game cameras, he told me to ask Tim a question that isn’t appropriate for public websites… said he has a bunch of cameras around and sees quite a bit of wildlife when he harvests the images.

BtC – Worm Fence – Turkey – Lil’ Bear – Steel

Went on a pretty good solo ride after work… couldn’t find anybody else that could go. Apparently everybody is riding bikes you actually have to pedal. I did bump into a few guys from the valley that I’d never met on the trails before, tagged along with them down little bear then burned around to the top of Steel to return down to my truck. The weather was perfect and it was a good trail to be solo on, starting to get pretty dusty. According to the heart rate monitor, I burned just under 1500 cal.

Shoot me txt or email if you’re planning a ride, I’d love to tag along.

Tyson’s ride on new (old) bike

My neighbor just got a bike, a 1991 CR500, that he wanted to try out. It’s actually in really good shape and he rode it well. I took him up the ridge line from Weston canyon and did a little 18 mile loop.

I took some pictures, but somehow lost or deleted them before I saved… so, here’s the stats at least.

Glady’s Run

After a few weeks from the bike (family vacation) and missing some of the prime riding season for this area, I was really excited to get back and see what the conditions were like. Thankfully, Chaz and a couple of guys fresh off their missions were up for a good ride to go get a sandwich at Glady’s. We had a good ride and kept a pretty good pace. I thought we’d still hit some snow, but I only saw a tiny patch on the west side of Gibson basin. Ranger dip is already dusty. Good ride to get back into this season…

Crew: Chaz, Trevor, Tanner and me.

Gates open – yay!

I love it every year when they finally open the gates for the trails up Logan canyon. This year I tagged along with Tim and Cort to try out the fresh new trails. We hopped a bunch of logs, ran into some Zollingers on Richards, cut some trees out of the way on Cart/Seep loop, and had a good ride.

Trails: Steel, Richards, Cart, Seep, Whites

Crew: Cort, Tim and me
