inside thoughts from the inside... deep.

Yesterday...
If you wanna be a "G", pimp the hell out of the North ogden divide.

Is the road to powder mountain a portal to hell?

Old Snowbasin Rd: Anything after powder mountain seems flat.

Trappers loop: Remember when this used to be hard?


Today...
Always know where the town signs are. Never tell the new guy what you're up to either.

Riding with old people is hazardous to your ego so bring your climbing legs

Gatorade is a great motivator.

"I think that one guy had a motor on his bike"

Take off your helmet and sit on a rock when you beat your comrades up a hill.

TRP brakes suck, so just don't use them when you descend.

climb the mountain, young squirrel

It seems that i am finally beating the bug that has been keepin a brother down these past couple days. I woke up coughing, took a shower, texted Jason that I wouldn't be at work still, then napped until around ten.

I got up and the sun was shining and the grass was green and suddenly i had the urge to move spontaneously. I tried walking up and down the stairs. That didn't fulfill my need for sporadic movement. I paced back and forth in the kitchen. Still anxious... Too bad my bikes are all in bountiful...

I hopped in the geo and drove up ogden canyon. When I saw the Indian trail parking lot, I veered off the road and hit the E-brake; flinging rocks and tearing my new tires to shit.

Today was officially my first hike of the summer season and where better to go than the place that i spent most of my highschool career sluffing? Nostalgia right there buddy.

I got to the Emergency Shelter and decided to go straight up to the top of the mountain. On the way, I found a tee shirt draped in a tree. It was white, XL, and stated in forest green print, "Pleasantview: A great place to live". I also saw a lot of deer poop and climbed on some rocks.

The best part is that my lungs were clearing up; though at first it felt hard to breathe. If i have the energy to hike, then i guess i should go back to work tomorrow and start rebuilding my endurance base. I am very excited to start training again!

going to give this whole blogging thing a try. I'm hella sick and can't sleep because of coughing fits so here i am...

The high uintas went shitty. By some divine intervention, I made it over the top of bald mtn pass without getting dropped by the likes of hoffman, d'hulst, sohm, aaron olson, and the guy in the slipstream kit. I was sick as fuck and thought maybe a top five was possible and that all flushed down the toilet when i flatted outside of evanston. Playing in the rain wasn't a good idea because its almost three days later and I'm coughing up my lungs.
