GL SS training

May 29th a group of us will be heading out on a Grand Loop mission.   I’ve done this route before, so to make it more challenging this time around I’ll have just one gear.  This route is hard enough that success rate is something south of 40% for those that attempt it – and it […]

TU Splorin’ Resumes

It’s a never ending quest to get from StG to the Markagunt by dirt.  Instead of looking South into the AZ strip, I’ve been looking at NW of town.  This is a rugged, remote, complex region of volcanic mountains, green valleys and even a few lakes.   Subtly soft in places, brutally hard in others. Much of […]

Trans Utah V3.0

Trans Utah is getting an upgrade.  Based on last years running, and the fact that nobody has completed the course yet, here’s where it’s headed: – Route.  Marshal’s experience in particular up Kolob road was not at all what I had in mind when designing the route.  Kolob road is getting the ax.  Seeing how […]

TU denial

Make no mistake:  the TU route is a monster.  With limited time, knowing storms were coming in quick, I gave it what I had left for ’08.  Somehow, after 242 miles and 32,000′ climbing, it still feels like a whopper of a ride.  And…I only just started the really fun stuff.  The late addition of […]

Saturday Afternoon Trans Utah Report

…and then there were none. It’s done. Dave made it somewhere past the 200 mile mark and called it. Actually, more accurately, he called me. This is what my drive to go pick him up looked like. Slushy, wet and slippery. This is Deer Valley where the TU course crosses the Hwy on the Marathon […]

Saturday Morning Trans Utah Report

6am. It’s raining here in St George. Pouring! When it rains in the desert it pours. Bummer. I thought we had until noon before the storm hit. According to the NOAA Mesonet Map it started snowing on the TU route at 7pm last night. No peeps from Dave since he called in from Brian Head yesterday. […]

Friday Afternoon Trans Utah Report

No call in from Marshal. His Spot slowly and steadily travelled up the 4.6k climb from Summit to Brian Head all day today. Then it shot straight back down the pavement to Parowan – the opposite direction of the course… So I’m guessing Marshal called it. Dave called in from Brian Head. He rode StG to Cedar City, stopped […]

Trans Utah is off!

The Trans Utah boyz are on their way. All took an early start option to hopefully stay ahead of the storm forecast to hit Utah. If the storm becomes reality and dumps snow down to the 6500 feet mark that will be the first time in October I have seen that since moving to Southern […]
