Alan and I spent another superb evening of challenge out at the Agua Caliente trail. I rode my other bike this time but an still unsure which one is “better.” My lungs burned throughout the climb, a function of my tired state as well as the springtime pollen that is continually causing me greif. At …. [Continue reading] 4/23/04 – Arrived mid-day with just enough time to ride the climb challenges of the shoreline trail (Salt Lake foothills). The featured event was Hero Hill, so Brian and I headed there first. I was wondering a bit whether I would complete the feat (cleaning the climb with no dabs), since my legs were tired …. [Continue reading] Enjoyed a nice technical workout on the Agua Caliente trail this evening. The wind was completely out of control, but thankfully blowing us up the steep rocky trail.

I found some very excellent topo maps of Mexico at the UofA library, but it sounds like we’ll be backpacking in the Rincons instead. Either suits me, really. Backtracking… 4/11 – Rode the tandum [sic] to the top of …. [Continue reading] 4/8/04 – Alan, Paula and I loaded up the backpack, panniers and bob trailer (respectively) for a short tour in the San Rafael area. We started our trip in Patagonia, at the Arizona Trail parking lot, rolling out in the late morning. It was warm and comfortable with large puffy clouds in the sky. We …. [Continue reading] 3/31/04 – Preparations and travel were exhausting. An $80 fee was demanded because my box contained a bicycle. Then, a large surprise as I stepped off the plane in St. Louis: the sun was nowhere to be seen. It was cold as we checked into the downtown Marriott, the ‘host’ hotel of the 2004 olympic ….
