Default Alpine Loop, Take two

I did the alpine loop today for only the second time. I remember posting the first time about stopping 15 times and it taking over 3 1/2 hours to summit from the mouth of Provo Canyon. 2 1/2 months later I made it to the summit in 2 hours 43 minutes and I had to fix two flats. I would have made it in 2:20 had that not happened!

Anyway, it felt really good to see the improvement come. I am really sad that there is about a month left of riding this year, at least in the canyons.
