Usually, we only blog about big rides or locations such as Fruita, Sedona, Moab and such. We did get down to Moab during spring break to ride the new Capt. Ahab Trail, which is killer, but most of our riding this year has been on the incredible trails at the mouth of Provo Canyon.
Ahab
We have found numerous new trails and loop options in the 12-15 mile range with around 2500 feet of climbing, with more exploring to be done this weekend. Trails like, TAJ, Clutch, Maid Marian, Prayer Circle etc. which add multiple possibilities of climbing and descending from race course or roller coaster. Many of the routes we have created using skidmap or just exploration.
I even ran into one of the trail builders of TAJ and he thanked me, yes thanked me, for riding it as it is making the trail even better.
Even more astounding is that while corner canyon is packed with people, on my ride this Saturday I put in 13 miles with around 2400 vertical and saw two other bikers and one horseman...three entire people in 2 hours and 15 minutes.

For trip ideas we have a few on Everytrail under Gillingsgr;
Race - Altar - TAJ - BST Loop
Roller Coaster - Altar - Clutch - Area 51 - TAJ Loop
We count ourselves lucky and blessed to have so much great riding so close to us.
Check out this list:
Payson Canyon (Blackhawk), Diamond Fork Canyon (Strawberry loop), Spanish Fork Canyon (Strawberry Narrows), Provo Canyon (Race Course, TAJ, etc), AF Canyon (ridge trail), Corner Canyon, Park City, Deer Valley, Wasatch Crest, etc...I could go on.
All of it prime riding and so much to explore . . . one trail at a time!
