I’m at risk of becoming a total cycling tourist but Strava be damned I couldn’t resist stopping do a few pictures up Blacksmith Fork Canyon.

Logan River Trail
Took the cyclocross bike up Logan Canyon this afternoon. I don’t usually stop to take pictures but today I couldn’t resist. The colors are spectacular:
Great Ride Up Blacksmith Fork Canyon
Went to Hardware Ranch with Mason and Jeff tonight and had a great time – no snakes. I thought we did pretty good – 44 miles in sub 2 hours. However, a quick check of Strava will deflate one’s ego rather quickly. Within the borders of Cache Valley live some pretty amazing cyclists.
Cycling in Teton Valley (Driggs, ID)
Just spent the week with my family in Teton Valley and Grand Teton National Park. After four days of kids, mosquitoes and me biking every day my wife is not going to divorce me so it’s been a great vacation. Of course as I type this Callie is giving me grief that of all the…
GearSnyper – Be As Broke As Me
I love to ride and I have a serious addiction to the gear that I use when I ride. It’s a nasty combination that frequently results in diarrhea of the wallet. Since I’ve yet to find a cure I figured that if you’re going to do something you should go all the way. Keeping windows…
Cycling is for Old Guys
I rode out to Porcupine this morning. I spent the first half the ride cussing at my Polar CS600 since it ‘couldn’t find the sensors’ and the screen kept going out. You’d think that changing a battery wouldn’t be such a dramatic experience. I went out to Porcupine dam which is a great morning ride…
Polar CS600 Error 169
I have a Polar CS600 that I use to monitor my rides. I love it except for when it comes time to change the battery. This seemingly simple exercise is much harder than it should be. I’ve attempted to change the battery a number of times. It’s an odd CR2354 button cell that is hard…
Cervelo eRide Came to Logan
Cervelo brought their test ride wagon through town yesterday so I jumped at the chance to go out and pound on someone else’s expensive bike. I and Joel took a couple of S3s up Smithfield Canyon. Cervelo calls the S3 the fastest bike in the peleton due to it’s aerodynamic design. The guys at the…
Men in Tights
My MacBook died today. When you write code for a living that really sucks. Then I ran out of M&Ms. That sucks a lot too. Snow be damned when everything else falls apart you simply must ride so I and Joel headed up Left Hand Fork in a spring blizzard because, well, after you get…
Justin and Joel’s Epic Mountain Bike Adventure
So today I and Joel decide to go ride mountain bikes. I’ve been stuck in the house all week writing code because I’m to big of a wimp to go ride in the rain. He talks me into a ride from Latheom’s Hollow over into Millville canyon and back to his place. He tells me…
