We went on a group ride this morning up Millcreek Canyon. We started at Mike and Amy's house (3300 s and Highland Dr) and rode our bikes up the canyon, then down the pipeline trail, then down Rattlesnake gulch, then back to Mike's house. It was a very humbling experience, as Mike's friend Rich came along. We showed up at Rich's house at about 9 am and he comes walking out with his bike, a $99 Toys R us special! I mean, this thing is lower than a huffy! It weighs in at like 40 pounds. I couldn't help but laugh a little, as I am riding my top-o-the-line Specialized S-works that I paid more for than some people pay for their car. Anyway, we getting ready to go, and he doesn't even have a helmet, or water bottles, or anything! I was there thinking "man, this is going to be a long day, waiting for this guy!" So we start off, and Rich just takes off! Of course, I am thinking he can't keep that pace forever, but sure enough, many miles later, straight up the canyon he is still cruising! Like Lance Armstrong said "it's not about the bike" and sure enough, he was right. So it just tells me that I need to work on my weak little girl legs! Anyway, here are some pictures from today. Oh, and Rich, if you ever read this, I have all the respect in the world for you! No kidding!

OOPS! I must have stumbled upon the wrong site... I was looking for what Brian and CHERYL were doing nowdays, but apparently I somehow ended up on UTAH-MOUNTAIN-BIKING.com
Group ride eh? Sounds kind of..... well how should I put it..... gay? j/k! The reason why I didn't go is beacuse my massive thighs would have ripped the spandex.
Anyway, we getting ready to go,. This doesnt make sense. Shouldn't it be typed, "we were getting ready to go"?
