Wanted: Friend for Husband, must LOVE Mountain Biking (can use my bike)
Our second biking adventure was not quite as successful as our first. We attempted to ride to Dog Lake in Millcreek Canyon.
However, the road up Millcreek still wasn't all the way open, so we had to park the car about 1/3 of the way up and ride our bikes the rest of the way up. About 5 miles straight up hill. I was not happy, and I was not loving it.
In all honestly I probably walked my bike for the majority of it. I just couldn't keep up with the constant uphill. I couldn't help but think about how much I could sell my bike for and what would happen if I just "happened" to roll it off the edge of a cliff.
At certain points we were riding our bikes through a good 6" or more of snow. And guess what we found, once we got to the actual trail head, More Snow.
We had been riding for over an hour at this point, and a muddy, snowy trail did not sound appealing at all. So we turned around. Which was the highlight of my ride. As hard as the uphill is, the downhill is
always worth it.

MGMT
I love being back in Salt Lake for many reasons.
The music scene is definitely one of them.
Marci is another.
and crazy weird people at concerts is too.
Oh and the fact that in the venue is now all non-smoking. Love that.
Twilight Concert series couldn't come fast enough.
Modest Mouse.
July 8th.
Yes.

Birthday Bikes
Happy early Birthday to us!
We've been wanting bikes for a long time now (especially Jason) and after much deliberation and shopping we finally found our perfect fit. 29ers. The have bigger tires then the regular 26" bikes so it is suppose to make them absorb things better? Or something about making boulders feel like pebbles? I dunno. I just liked the color.
We took them out last Saturday for our first Mountain Bike Date. Keep in mind this was the first time I had ever even tried Mountain Biking. We went on the Ghost Falls trail up above the Draper Temple. It was only about 4 miles round trip. It had some awesome views and some really steep cliffs. I have a huge fear of cliffs, and I may or may not have gotten off and walked my bike a few times. It was suppose to be an "easy" trail but even Jase said it was pretty tough. I was dying. But I felt pretty hard core, since I was the only girl we saw on the entire trail. Impressive right??
