Dec 15 - 20

Monday - Ride and hike to ruins on silver bike, which is not great. I parked it before avalanche hill then hiked the rest up and jogged down via techy, kept strava on biking even though I was hiking. I would have had to hike a lot of it anyway, lots of icy areas (no slush). A bobcat crossed the trail in front of me on the climb! 11.24 miles, 1 hour 51 min total, 1 hour 5 min to ruins. I got more Local Legends, oh yeah - 2 new ones for today in bold, and the rest are my other Local legend for ALL athletes: UP Mile 2 (26), Little Cottonwood Canyon Road Climb (26), LCC trail w/cool loop on descent (20), temple quarry to mushroom land (24), DH Quarry (21), bird is the word (23), Techy (22), Little Cott Descent Lower half (23) woot! I still have it for all the other segements for women. I'm watching to make sure I keep it though the end of 2025 then I'm content to hang up my laurels if need be.
