Andy, there are plenty of goatheads strewn among the lovely deserts and
mountains of Utah. The most insidious patch of them surrounds my bike
shed.
Thanks, Robert, for the heads-up on the Boise goathead festival. It looks
like a gas, and their website had a promising tip about picking up lo
Sorry to hear about your crash and subsequent surgery, Mark! Hopefully you
have recovered well and are back on the bike!
I checked out Templin, I like it! Nice environment- it is refreshing to see
one of these local spots that is able to serve full strength brews,
cocktails, and non-alcoholic
Very nice ride report and pictures, I'm catching up on close looks and
reads after a marathon work stint through last weekend and this week. In

the 58- at least unloaded with someone of my size on it. Haven't loaded
this bike up for an overnight yet,
Thanks for the ride report. Last fall I followed the same trail from SLC
north to Ogden and took frontrunner back. I always intended to do the
southern section. I have recently moved away from SLC so I imagine it's not
a ride I'll get to do now, but now I feel like I was able to.

Nice ride report. Thanks for sharing it. I haven't made it that far south
on the trails* yet on my own blue, twin-top-tubed Hillborne. Looks like
