Had a great fall mountain bike ride in the fall colored forests of MN yesterday with Nate and Emily Goltz. It was an odd day for October, being that the leaves were a brilliant fall showing, but we were riding with temps in the upper seventies, and got to ride out a small isolated thunderstorm. Made for muddy last few miles, but hey, what mountain biker doesn't like getting completely dirty once and a while? Sometimes I forget what a sweet mountain bike I have living here in MN. I think it may be my favorite ride if I were still living in Bountiful, but the riding here is sparse. What exists is fun, I'll give it that, but there is no where near the experience to be found here as in UT. Which brings to mind that I'm headed to Moab this week! Yes, it's been a couple years now and it's time to return. I'll be heading out this Tuesday night and returning Sunday, getting a much needed break from work. I've worked so many extra hours this summer on a special project that I basically have an extra week of vacation built for this year. Not bad. So it's off to ride in the old Spring Break stomping grounds of southern UT. We'll probably get a bit of bouldering in in SLC, and crack climbing while in Moab as well. That's the good life. I'll give you a report when I get back. And oh yeah, the Alaska blogs aren't finished yet either. I've only bothered to write about half that trip yet. Man am I distracted. As you were...One of the obstacles at Murphey Hanrehan Regional Park, MN...
