MapMyRide - 7/5/2010 Big Mtn DT Loop in Salt Lake City, UT

Days off are good for riding. Got a great ride up to Big Mtn. Summit at 7,400 feet. Rob won the 1st climb (Emigration Canyon) squarely by 45 seconds. I pulled away in the steeps of Big Mountain, as I looked over my shoulder with 200M to go Rob was 100M back, feeling good, glided in, I should have listened to Paul and Phil in my head. Something like this...Paul "Marsh is on today, he is hammering down, Stringham is oblivious" Phil, "Oh my what a finish! Wait, Stringham takes notice and my, oh my, Marsh takes the mountain top finish by a half a wheel." Paul "That goes down in the epic climbs!" Anyway, it was a good ride. Cruised out the last 30 miles.



Met some other Wheeler/HBI guys on the climb. They served as good rabbits. Great view from the summit. Thanks, Rob, Jim, Mike.....
