Sunday Morning Ride

By: Ryan, on June 28, 2009

Rode the Flying Dog trail in Park City with Hollywood today. We rode the trail the opposite direction we normally do, and wow, it was awesome. It helped that it was a perfect day, sunny, 70ish degrees and it rained recently so the trail was packed down and tacky.

White bibs from Realcyclist.com. Real men aren’t afraid to wear white spandex.

I make that face on Sunday mornings too.

Taking pictures of taking pictures.

The valley below. You climb about 2,000 ft over the 16 mile ride.

Some random dude passing us.

Yours truly, fist pumping and rocking as always.

Descending on this trail is just orgasmic. The descent is roughly half the trail, fast and flowy. I was sporadically broken up by ascending riders.

Some stats:

Time: 1:53

Distance: 16.26 miles

Avg HR: 148

Max HR: 180

Altitude: 2030 feet.

Some gear I used:
