Summer

Yesterday was nice out and I went up Provo canyon on a bike ride to a ward barbecue. All the snow had finally melted off of the trail. There's still snow on Squaw Peak Road, on Sunday I made it almost all the way to the top. After walking across a few snow patches I decided to go back. I can't really explain what motivates me to keep going on long rides up mountain roads just to ride right back down again. It must have to do with the adrenaline rush and the high I get when I'm all out of energy but I keep going anyways. Maybe someday I'll get out of this phase, but I don't see that happening anytime soon. Cycling is the best way to travel especially out in the middle of nowhere because you can really feel the terrain and soak in the surroundings. Recently I've been studying my map and planning out some routes. As soon as more snow to melts I'll go up to Cascade Springs and Deer Creek and then over to Box Elder Peak.
