This poor quality photo is of me just before heading out on some trails near Stevensville, Montana in the spectacular Bitterroot Valley of Western Montana! (I got 5 cents for the plug from the tourism buearu )

Hey Shannon-UT, I am going to be up in Ogden in June. Do you know of any good riding there?

Here I am on a local trail.

Wow. I guess your humor meter is reading a bit low tonight.

Let me clarify for you:

I'm in the white helmet, in the water-cooled car.

Cheers.

[QUOTE=dirtbikedude]Hey Shannon-UT, I am going to be up in Ogden in June. Do you know of any good riding there?

I haven't actually ridden in the Ogden area, though we had 2 planned trips that were cancelled due to bad weather. We were going to try the Bonneville Shoreline Trail and Antelope Island in March (an actual island in the Great Salt Lake with herds of buffalo on it!).

I can however refer you to this really good website:
www.utahmountainbiking.com

Find the Logan/Ogden list on the left hand side. I'm in the Logan area, so you can disregard these trails:
Jardine Juniper
Logan River trail
Old Ephraim's Grave
Rick's Canyon
Steel Hollow

Have fun, it looks like there's some really beautiful rides! I should get down there and try them.

You don't look like you need to loose 22 pounds.

Hey thanks, ronyex! I was pleasantly surprised when we got the pictures back. Pa-POW!
I actually lost ~20 pounds that year from biking, thanks to my new bike (old bike was worn out).

That is exactly how it started for me. I bought a mountain bike, started to ride it 2-3 times a week, soon enough, I dropped from 285-290 down to 205 and now I am a daily rider. There is cancer and heart disease, as well as diabetes in my family, so i figured the healthier I got, the better the chances are that I would be able to avoid those problems.

well that's the same thing that happened to me! i didn't ride as much on my old bike because it honestly gave me neck, shoulder and hand pains. Got a new better mtn. bike and rode over 1,000 miles in one season, and i ate quite a bit! maybe the weight was meant to come off, i'm glad mine did!

good for you rockstar and trekkie

Waiting for the adapter for the front brake
The specialized letters are outlined, I was thinking about painting them in, no decals were taken off. I just set up the rear xt brake yesterday and it works really well, thats after I did my blow torch technique to the pads and rotor.
