House to Providence Canyon, along Deer Fence to Millville Canyon.  Up the canyon 1 mile then back.  Lots of hills again.  Dressed too warm today for fear of a repeat of yesterday.

Green Canyon from Kings Park.

 Pretty Muddy and even still had snow on the top 2 sections of singletrack.  Took it really easy.

Long Mountain Bike Ride - 

 First Dam to Green Canyon - Uneventful but fun

Green canyon to Birch Canyon - A disaster since the dirt road I was on turned into a mud pit and after walking my bike out of the mud since it wouldn't move anymore, I had to use a rock and a stick to peek off the mud to make it ride-able again.  And I wasn't even close to Birch canyon yet.  So, I bailed on the dirt road and wandered on streets until I hit Summit Drive and took the shortcut to the canyon.  The best part of that was the crossing of the creek coming down the canyon.  It was deep enough to get my bike partially washed off.  But my feet were then freezing the rest of the ride.  I only made it 2 miles up the canyon or so before the muddy road was just too much mud. 

Birch to Green - I stuck to the boring roads and avoided the mud this time. I didn't even take the canal trail since I was unsure of its muddiness.  I didn't want to get stuck again. 

Up and Back in Green - I rode up only the first 2 singletrack legs (with the road section in the middle) before time ran out and I needed to call it a day.  That was the highlight of the ride.

Green to First Dam - I seriously love the singletrack section here.  Its way more fun on a bike than running.  Narrowly missing the scary brush at high speeds is fun.

T- 2:40 (10.5mph) 28 miles 2800' Vert


** Week Summary 51 miles of cross training equivalent (at 10 min mile pace) of biking.  I was on the bike every day and loved it. 95 miles of mountain biking most of those miles were hard earned hilly miles.  8350' Vert.  511 mins (8 hr 31 min). 

Solid week of fun.  Knee is still tender.  Doesn't hurt during or after riding, but is tender to the touch.  Oh well, give it another week or 5.
