• What is Real?

  What does it say, that I am always awe struck when I ride the singletrack of the Wasatch? I have skidded to a halt in the same place and gawked at the same view over and over. Am I easy to please? A hopeless dreamer? Or is the scenery just that good ... Posted Aug 20 2008, 11:36 AM by Epic Riding. Epic Writing. Filed under: wasatch classic

• Classic Audacity

  On paper the world looks smooth and flat. Manageable. On maps the contouring trails are fascinating and beautiful, like sirens whispering sweet temptations into an eager and hungry mind. In reality everything is uglier and rockier and steeper and longer... Posted Aug 18 2008, 07:37 AM by Epic Riding. Epic Writing. Filed under: wasatch classic

• Classic, at Last

  Finally it is time to ride the Classic. And I could not be more excited. I created this year's route in the hours after last year's slightly ambitious hike-a-fest. And since then I have been anxiously awaiting an opportunity to string all these... Posted Aug 15 2008, 11:11 AM by Epic Riding. Epic Writing. Filed under: wasatch classic

• Pre Classic

  I wished away as much snow as I could. But the winter snowpack up above 9,000 feet is stubborn. After scouting some of the American Fork Canyon sections of the Wasatch Classic, it is painfully obvious that the 28th would be a snow bound plod. So what...

• Moving Along

  I can't say I know exactly what is next for me. I'd love to get down to the Kaibab . But I may have to pass it up once again. Any locals interested in heading down that way? The Wasatch Classic is sooner rather than later. I am excited to show... Posted May 20 2008, 01:44 PM by Epic Riding. Epic Writing. Filed under: summer, wasatch classic, twins
