Saturday Rides

Saturday I biked to Salt Lake City and back. I went by way of Suncrest Ridge up by the U and then to the City Library. There's this sweet hill at the end that made the whole trip worth it. There's not really a direct route through from Draper to SLC so I'm still trying to find one that I like. I really like my new bike. I just need to figure out how to raise the gear ratio on it some. The Shimano 8-speed internal hub is pretty nice, but not completely maintenance free. I couldn't get into the 8th gear on the way back because I needed pliers to tighten the shifter. When I got back I got in the hot tub and it felt so good to just relax there. This is what weekends were made for and now that the snow has melted off of the mountain roads the fun can really begin.
