• Paunsaugunt sploring

  This weekend we headed over to the Paunsaugunt for more sploring. Wow, double decker wow! The scenery was unmatched, trails amazing and weather ride perfect. The main target was to ride a bunch of the Grandview trail and find a more interesting route up onto the plateau than Proctor Canyon. Finding reliable info on the Grandview [...] Posted Jun 30 2008, 09:52 PM by 2 Epic Filed under: Exploratories

• Trans Usploring again

  We took the Trans Utah route exploring up to one of my fav summer jaunts this weekend. The Virgin River Rim Trail. This is one of my special places on the Markagunt plateau. The single track here is blissful.

• Off with nary a whisper…

  At high noon today the Great Divide Race started.  Racers will be making their journey from Rooseville, Montana (at the Canadian border, yes the crossing where I was scrutinized by a po’d mounty with white gloves, but oh that’s another story, the telling of which requires alcohol) to Antelope Wells, NM on the Mexican border.

  Siren Mary, Brendan, and Matt stopped by for a bit yesterday.  They are on their way to Banff for Mary’s start to Tour Divide.  Mary looks so good!!!  Calm, strong, witty, she’s in a great space leading to this most epic of epics.  We talked strategy and equipment…they even pulled her bike off the car [...] Posted Jun 11 2008, 08:01 AM by 2 Epic Filed under: 2 Epic, Single Speed, Exploratories, Trans Utah

• pre-KT IHT

  It has been a funny season as far as race planning goes. Most of the races I have planned to do haven’t happened for me - for a wide variety of reasons. My normal MO is to set a goal, design the killer training plan, train like a demon then go out and give it [...] Posted Jun 01 2008, 10:40 AM by 2 Epic Filed under: Lynda
