Cycle the Alpine Loop :)

I never would have seen me doing this, even last year.  Susie and I went the day before and rode the Alpine Loop in her Jeep to see what we had to face.  The whole ride we kept saying "this really isn't that bad." We kept thinking it wasn't that steep and it wasn't that far.  The next day we took of from the mouth of American Fork Canyon and yes it was steep and hard and far.  11 miles of uphill to the top but we made it and it felt so good!  The ride down was hard and cold.  Holding the brake for so long and freezing breeze coming at you! But you can't beat a good downhill run! Cycling is by far my favorite sport at the moment.

Mountain Biking Moab

Moab was the so fun!  We all had a blast! Mountain Biking was harder than I thought. I had a great 3500 bike I rented.  It was really fun but it felt uncomfortable because I didn't know what it could do.  I fell once and flew over my handlebars.  We biked around slick rock and then did another ride at Dead Horse Point.  They were both really neat and the views in those canyons were just beautiful.  LOVED IT!  The whole family except Jess went and the Wilkeys came with us.  We even got to rock climb with their cars.  LOveD it!
