today was the first day that wearing extra socks and a long sleeve shirt wasnt a question. summer is officially gone in my eyes and soon less daytime to ride after resting my legs this week, and eating almost anything i wanted, it was important i went out today.

wanted to go up zion mountain a new way this afternoon and chose spring hill road as my challange. on the way out there another cyclist passed me after dropping my clif shot. once back on the bike catching him was a must! caught up and drafted for 2 miles before he turned. i was payed a nice compliment though and went on my way to climb. after climbing springhill zion rd is still the bitch of the bunch to the top of the mountain. there was some good grade and nice turns but it didnt have the consistant grade that zion rd does. with that done i made my way to the top for my quick decent.

after being passed while climbing some more by another rider, i caught up to them as well and headed down the hill. was a great day for riding.
