Two miles up the road from us is the shoreline of the ancient Lake Bonneville...and nowadays there's a road that follows the shoreline: Wasatch Boulevard. It's a favorite of bikers in Salt Lake because it follows the ridge, has wide shoulder and great views of the valley.
On Saturday of Labor Day weekend, Scott & I decided it was our turn to ride the Wasatch. We hopped on our bikes and headed uphill...Two miles of uphill just to get to the boulevard. I was wiped. We rode about 4 miles of it and then I called it quits. I just wasn't feeling so great.

On Labor Day, we decided to tackle it again. This time, we drove our car up the hill, to
Einstein Bagels. I got my usual. (Mom, do you know what kind of bagel I had?) Then we hopped on our bikes and rode south, down to Little Cottonwood Canyon and back. 12 miles, 1 hour. The sky was overcast and thunderheads threatening, which made the weather perfect for riding...no hot sun beating down our backs!
