I rode my poor neglected mtn bike today, two rides actually.

The first was with a new group of gals that all ride together on Monday mornings. Short ride but long on fun. They all kicked my roadie butt. A neat group of gals.

But the ride was so short and I was in my car with bike and decided that I needed to ride some more since I was already out and about. So I went up one of the canyons here (Millcreek) and rode my mtn bike on the road 4.8 miles uphill to a singletrack trail (gate was closed so I had to ride the road), found a creek to wash the salt out of my eyelashes (yeah, a lttle warm), rode the singletrack (was stunned and amazed by the wildflowers along the way), rode back down the road (I think I made a speed record on my mtn bike: 36.4 mph ), passing a racer-boy roadie whilst going downhill , and arrived at the car...hot, salty-crusty, and happy.

I'm going up there again Wed with my camera, I think. The road gate opens on Sat, so I'm going to get the solitude up there while I can.
