Suncrest Ride

Yesterday I took my bike to work with the plan of riding during lunch. I thought I would just head up to the Draper LDS temple and back but by the time I got there I still had plenty of time before I had to be back in the office so I kept going. I ended up going up the north side of South Mountain up to the top of Suncrest. I was surprised at how tough it was. I have climbed up to the top several times but always on the south side. The north side felt much steeper and even longer as well. It was a good ride. I came back to work with my mind cleared and ready to go. I think this might be the answer to my winter riding schedule. It stays dark so late and gets dark so soon that I've been trying to figure out how I can ride in the light. This might work.

I still ride in early morning. It's very dark but that is the only time my wife can go with me. We have good lights and we are decked out in reflective material but still riding during the day is much more comfortable. Today for example, we rode Rose canyon in the early morning but I've brought my bike to work again and I think I'll try to get up Little Cottonwood canyon during lunch. I'll post how it goes.
