Sat. Morning Ride.....

Heidie and I left the Park and Ride (Preston) at 6:00 am. We rode to North Logan where we stopped and Don and Marilyn's house. We refilled our drinks and the four of us were off. As we dropped down the hill by the mouth of Logan Canyon there was terrible canyon head wind with gusts of crosswinds. One gust totally about did me in. We headed through Logan to River Heights, to Providence, to Millville, to Nibley and then started up Black Smith Fork Canyon. At the mouth of Black Smith Fork Canyon there was another terrible head wind and the road a just been chipped and sealed. We decided to give it a try up the canyon. When cars would pass you they would flip rocks on you (painful). It was about 15 miles up the canyon. It was a very pretty ride. We turned around at Hardware Ranch and headed back down. The wind had changed directions now and once again another head wind!! We followed the same route back to Don and Marilyn's. Once at Marilyn's we tried some of her chocolate Endurox (I didn't really like it). We ended up with about 80 miles.

My favorite treat of the ride was my "Payday". The swedish fish weren't so bad either. One thing for sure, Utah drivers can be awfully rude! I am not sure because of the MB ride but I ended up with about 146-150 miles this week.

On the way to North Logan we passed a couple of big groups heading north, it definetly looked like training for the LOTOJA! We will try to climb Strawberry Canyon on Tues.
