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.

Wow! Way to go Chris. I couldn't have done it so kudos to you.

Wow! That's a monster ride. Kristi and I would like to go for a bike ride along the beach sometime. There are some really nice trails in some coastal areas. I think that biking on the beach will be a little less strenuous than your wilderness excursion.

Awesome- how many miles was your trip? We'll have to do one with a group sometime- maybe even this fall.
