Took my first ride yesterday
I am a little out of shape, but it sure was nice to get outdoors and ride. This has been a long, miserable winter.
After reading about the dead bikers recently, and the stats about bike-auto collisions, I was thinking to myself how wonderful it is to live by the Provo Canyon Parkway where I can enjoy the scenery and I don't have to worry about cars. Then I realized how many longboarders I was dodging and I wonder if I am at greater risk or lesser risk. It's amazing how many of them don't ever look up. More amazing is how few of them wear helmets. I don't think I saw a single helmet yesterday.

That Provo Canyon trail from the dam all the way down to the Riverbottoms/mouth of the canyon is one of the most beautiful stretches I have seen. I have always loved Provo Canyon.
I have biked it, jogged it, walked it, skated it, and even inner-tubed it. Never gets old.
