Jun 26 - Jul 1

Monday - Ruins and back this morning. I let Corey hurry home cause he was trying to do the ride in less than 1:20, and he got 1:19! Woo! Plus he got SIXTEEN PRs, wow. I was home in 1:23, 12 achievements for me, PRs for: LCC climb to 2nd bridge 24:13, Out n Back 1:06:04, Up mile 2 14:26, LCC Canyon climb 8:37, Up Mile 3 15:51, and 2nd fastest for 3rd bridge to top 16:36. For the descent PR on top to 3rd bridge 3:29, some 2nd places on the descent - LCC Speed 11:57, LC Descent Upper half 6:56. Pow plant down got my 3rd fastest time 2:12. Good ride. Leaving for Indiana on Wed, so we're going to do Quarry two more times and then maybe an evening ride on Saturday after I get back??? hopefully

Tuesday - Ruins and techy this morning. 11.19 miles, 1 hour 32 min, I did better on the techy than I've done before! Almost got over every obstacle. 5 achievements overall for today's ride: PR on 1st bridge to top at 38:19, Up mile 3 PR 14:41, 2nd fastest time for 3rd bridge to top 15:54. Downhill: DH Quarry 3.6 miles in 23:50, 3rd place for Quarry up and down with techy 6.41 miles in 1:22:46. 

Wednesday - ride with Corey to the ruins with techy, plus we did Grit mill on the way down, 11.33 in 1:38. I got 3rd best for Up mile 3 (16:19) and 3rd bridge to top (15:58), got a PR on the Grit Mill, (obviously, since it was the first time we've done it) AND I got a PR for the techy section - and I don't care about the fast time on that, BUT I did care and I was whoopin' and hollerin' cause I DID THE TWO ROCK PILES! I've never done either of them and neither had Corey, we weren't sure it was possible! But now we know it is cause today I did both!!! I was cheering to myself and yelling back at Corey, but he had his earphones in. But I was very proud of myself, oh yeah. The only part I didn't do  was the log, Corey did that one, I've never done that one before, Corey usually does that no problem. Anyway, that was fun, good way to end my rides for this week. 

Thursday - walking at the airports yesterday and today, did some headstands at our Airbnb

Friday - dancing at the reception

Saturday - a few headstands, walking (travel day home) Good to be back

Jun 19 - 24

Monday - 5:45 am ride, Corey was still in bed cause we didn't get to bed on time, but he went later. I just went to the 3rd bridge. 9.39 miles 1 hour 27 min. I went slow cause my bike was feeling weird, realized after I was almost home that it was because it was flat, doh. Hope I didn't ruin anything.  

Tuesday - we didn't go on a ride this morning, but I did a solo ride this evening to the 3rd bridge. 9.56 miles, 1 hour 8 min, 7 achievements: PR for Cottonwood road dirt climb to pipe (41:39) PR for LCC Trail climb to 2nd bridge 24:41, PR for Little C 1st bridge (10:52), PR for Pow Plant to 2nd river crossing and back to power plant 36:30.

Wednesday - ride to ruins with Corey. 11.12 miles, 1 hour 32 minutes. Our goal is to do the ride to the ruins in 1 hour 20 minutes by the end of the summer. Today was my 3rd fastest time for "Out n Back" at 1 hour 11 min, 3rd fastest time for up Mile 3, PR for 3rd bridge to top (15:50), 2nd fastest time for LCCSpeed  13:06, 2nd place for LCC Descent upper half (7:14) and 2nd fastest time for top to 2nd bridge (4 min). Fastest section alive was 4:52 today. There were lots of hikers on the trail.

June 12 - 17

Monday - Ride with Corey up to the ruins. 11.21 miles, 1 hour 37 min. My dropper post is broken, it's stuck in the "move" position, so it always goes up, unless I'm sitting on it, which kinda messes me up when I'm going downhill. Two cool things - Corey and I both rode across the board! I didn't fall in! Yay! Got 3 PRs - Quarry up and down with Techy 6.41 miles in 1:18, and I was excited to get another PR on the Fastest section alive 4:16!!

Tuesday - Corey felt sick last night and a little weak this morning, but we still took a ride up the canyon, just went to the 3rd bridge. It was also cloudy this morning, so we slept in a bit on accident. I took my old bike, cause of my dropper post issue, and I love that it has 3 speeds, so I was able to go quite a bit faster than Corey (but he was also sick) but I kept waiting for him on the way up. And he was waiting for me on the way down, cause I didn't have shocks and it was really rough. I truly missed my new bike's shocks on the ride down. So Corey was waiting for me on the downhill. BUT, with my triple speed gears, I planned to push hard on the way home, which I always try to do but I can't beat my time. TODAY I did. I got one PR on LCC to Wasatch: 1.2 miles in 2:49 woot woot!

Wednesday - Corey and I tried a new trail today - drove to Hidden Valley and found the BST trail, rode it to Corner Canyon, took the Gasline Trail and Rattler then back to Hidden Valley. According to Strava there were apparently 16 segments of our ride, went 8.52 miles in 1:22 and my dropper post is being so stupid it made me almost want to cry with frustration.

Thursday - Happy Birthday Corey!! Corey got my bike tuned and fixed yesterday evening, so dropper post problem is solved, yay. Ride to the ruins this morning for the b-day boy. Water on the trail was mostly gone, finally, so that was nice to not get as muddy. We made it back home in 90 minutes, so that was a pretty good time. PRs for the 1) coalpit area 1:51 (I still don't know where that is) 2) ELLCEECEE speed 11:20, 3) LC Descent upper half 6:29 and 4) Top to 3rd bridge. Silver medals for: Out N back 6.27 miles 1:09:11, Fastest section alive 4:18, LC Descent lower half 6:47

Friday - Hike up Fergueson Canyon, it was so pretty and fun! Very shaded trail. We were headed up the trail at 6:15 am, turned around to come home at 7, it was good. 2.5 miles. Went up again with my kids for a picnic this afternoon, 35 min up to get to a spot we got to in 20. Things are slower with kids, but it was good.
 
Saturday - stayed up too late last night, so I was up at 5 am today but we didn't do a ride cause I was waiting for Corey to get up. Then was dressed and ready to go in the evening but got a call from my SIL so I went to visit my MIL in the rehab center, she's not doing well 💔

Jun 5 - 10

Monday - morning climbing and evening ride - 11.38 miles, PRs on: climb to 2nd bridge (24:50), 3rd bridge to top (16:37), fastest section alive (4:32) and a few other silvers and bronzes. I also fell in the river as I was trying to cross the board, haha. I got wet. Thankfully there was no one around coming down or going up, so that spared me some humiliation. 

I'm not going to try that again for a while! At Momentum I logged 20 climbs.

Tuesday - Corey and girls get back tonight at 7:30 yay. Hollow, practiced L sit, head stand and hand stands

Wednesday - Hiked Bell Canyon with my friend Elasha, 1450 elevation, 4.74 miles, 2:05 hours

Thursday - ride to ruins and back with Corey. 4 achievements (silver & bronze) 11.21 miles, 1:36 hours. Snuck away to climb at 2pm, then cut that short a little early to take Corey a jacket (he was cold and hurt his ankle on a fall on our ride this morning) and then I went to Costco. 16 sends and a few attempts 

Friday - Hike to Livingroom and Red Butte Peak with some friends! 1 hour 57 min, 3.96 miles

Saturday - Corner Canyon with Corey, did Rush the end, then Canyon Hollow up and Rush down, 7.5 miles, 1 hour 7 minutes. Fun! And it's also crazy how big the world is. I kinda know where the trails are, but it also feels like I can get lost there, and that's just one little corner in this valley, world is so big. Also climbing tonight at 9:15 for a quick session with Wes and Lily as my guests. Did 16+ climbs of mostly V1s and V2s, attempted a few V3s but didn't send any, and on Kaya you can't log attempts anymore with the free version, only sends. My two week trial expires Monday, so it was good to go even if it wasn't for long.
