Tour De Timp

Today, I went on a 40-mile mountain bike ride generally along the Great Western trail surrounding Timpanogos. I thought I would be done in 4 or 5 hours, but it ended up taking me 8.5 hours. I don’t know that I would recommend the ride to the average biker. There were many steep climbs, quite a bit of hiking while off my bike, and many steep up and down grades. Here is a map of my route, with Timpanogos in the center. The ride was an epic ride, but I was glad to have it done.
