Mountain Biking

This summer we are going on a little mountain biking trek with the young men. We've been training for this by doing two rides a week. It has been fun. At first, I was borrowing Travis Roundy's bike. He's in the MTC preparing to go to Portugal. I was grateful that he let me use his bike but fearful that I might break it. So, I bought my own bike. I decided on a specialized rockhopper. The store I bought it from graciously took $100 off the already discounted price. It's a cool bike. I had to replace the shifters with grip shifters because shifting was difficult with my stubby thumbs. I hate grips shifts, but didn't see any other option.

We've been doing rides that are close by. Here are the ones that we have done:

• Bonneville lakeshort trail (partial)
• Big Spring 
• Provo Canyon Raceway (2)
• Lambert Park (2)
• Deer Creek Trail
• Dry Creek
• Rock Canyon
• Squaw Peak Downhill (partial)
