One of the great things about being alive is being able to cycle up mountain passes and summits of all types. The view from up there is so much better. Some hikers are "peak-baggers". So maybe some cyclists are "pass-baggers". But why stop there ? I got in the habit of naming most of the rides after their highest point(s), weather these are recognized passes or just informal summits. If interested -check out my web page. The cryptic shortform s(u) indicates this is such a summit(unrecogniced), while (sh) means it's a shoulder summit (you can go higher without barely any downhill in between)

26.05.11-Divide_Rd

This is a kind of wind-farm demonstration loop. The mornings are usually quiet and then the wind picks up in the afternoon and reaches max strength around 4 to 5 pm. So it's a good idea to plan the direction of travel. There are several gates on this route. All,…

26.05.08 Nebo Loop Summit

I can't believe this was the first time I ever rode this. This is one of the top paved Utah mountain rides (along with the La Sal Loop Rd, the Ut24 Boulder-Escalante Summit, Bald Mtn Pass(Mirror Lake Rd) and a few others I can't think of right now), even if…

No idea how it came up with 10 hours. Route was recorded with gpslogger app. There is no phone reception on this route, so the komoot app is not an option

I am so impressed by your pace on this route! Did you stop to enjoy the views, or were you strictly in 'beast mode' today? 😉

I did this loop several decades earlier on my first mountain bike, and as the ride progressed I remembered all the views. The one thing i forgot was the required river-ford at the end of the loop to get back to Ut24. Luckily it was not that much of a…

Looks very warm and lonely there.....reminds me a little of Paris, Texas! Riding the trails must have been very difficult.
