Back in the Saddle!

Taking advantage of cool mornings, Joel and I headed out to Antelope Island State Park a couple times this week. Relatively easy trails, zero other people out and just a few bugs will make Tues and Thurs our “go to” training days now. And, as a bonus, this week neither of us crashed! About a 10 mile loop, we will build up to doing the loop twice which should be the approximate daily mileage of our White Rim Mountain Bike trip in September.

Funnel Web Spider nests/webs. Lots of spiders on Antelope Island. So many, in fact that they are holding the Antelope Island Spider Fest on July 29th!
The trail doesn’t have real steep areas but there are some 1 – 2 mile long relentless grades that once you lose your momentum, walking seems to be a good option.
