Did big cottonwood canyon today (UT) and it was lovely. about 14 miles up (to Brighton) and 3600 ft of steady nice climbing, I don't like descending but it was OK, there are some flats and drivers were really courteous. 14 miles of descent with some wind is way harder to me than climbing LOL. Had a nice burger at the top and there were lots of riders in the canyon. This was my first time all the way up BCC and I would have done it a long time ago had I known it was so nice LOL. Maybe next time I should have a beer before going back down? That might help. I do half consider asking anyone with a truck to drive me down descents, isn't that pathetic? I was singing, that helps.
