Riding this Winter
It’s been a good winter season riding so far and I’ve been able to get out quite a bit, especially over the Christmas break. One of the many benefits of working in academia is that I get a good two weeks off work, and sometimes a bit more, during the Christmas season. Our snowpack here […]
Snow, snow, and more snow
It’s been a good snow year this Winter. Good storms, sometimes raining in the valleys, but snowing up high. I’ve been riding my fatbike regularly in the snow this year, all the usual places, Big Springs, Round Valley (Park City), Pine Hollow (American Fork Canyon), and Aspen Grove (actually the Alpine Loop on the Sundance […]
Global Fat Bike Day 2016
It was pretty low key this year, just three of us out riding, Bullet, myself and Arden. There were some organized rides and parties up North, but we would rather just ride than socialize. We went back up to Pine Hollow expecting more snow (from two storms last week), and nicely packed trails. It was […]
Global Fatbike Day Ride—2015
We headed up to Pine Hollow up American Fork Canyon for a Global Fatbike Day ride, along with about 40 other riders. There are some great singletrack trails up there that have been packed out and ridden and they were in great shape on Saturday. There were probably 30 people in the parking lot at […]
Fatbiking at Chicken Creek, UT

It described a 14 mile forest service road between Levan and Wales crossing the San Pitch Mountain Range. With several side […]
Good-bye snow, hello dirt
Todays ride had a little bit of everything—snow, mud, dirt, asphalt, gravel, grass, rocks, fisherman’s trail, and a railroad, 3,300 feet 0f climbing, 5,000 of descending and section of 17% grade climbing. It was a reminder that Winter is fading and Spring is here. I wanted to get one last long snow ride in before […]
The Perfect Snow
Today Bullet and I rode the perfect groomed snow. In fact, it was the first time this season we have ridden on a real groomed trail with that nice, firm grooved surface. Last week I rode very difficult, sloppy, wet, deep snow, and this week was the exact opposite. It was firm, fast, and so […]
Wet
A ride report by the Professor. It’s been raining in the valleys for the past two days. That means wet, heavy snow in the mountains. As of this morning the Provo mountains had received 16″ of new snow. So, what were we thinking? We drove up to the Pine Hollow trailhead up the Alpine Loop. […]
