I continued a fabulous First Day of the year with a family ride along the bike path at Huntington Beach in a 6-person surrey with by Sunshine, Econ, Panda, and Cupcake. Huntington Beach stretches for miles along the Pacific Coast Highway lined with palm trees.
Tonight Sunshine joined me for a lovely ride through Barbie Land - a string of about 20 homes on the Island at Daybreak all decorated in the theme of the Barbie Movie. The community display went viral and was picked up in local and national media, including USA Today and People. When surging visitor numbers... Continue Reading →
This morning I rode with Sunshine along Maui's south shore, from Kihei to Wailea and back again. We rode a mix of trails and roads, with one stretch on the sand as the surf crashed beneath us. Gorgeous views in Kalama Park, the three Kama'ole Beach Parks, and Keawakapu Beach Park II. Looking toward Lanai... Continue Reading →
Tonight I talked Sunshine into riding over to a new ice cream place nearby - Big Hazy's Ice Cream. We each sampled two flavors in our split-cup single scoop serving. All four were delicious! Super smooth and creamy, with popping good flavor. Making small talk with the man behind the counter I asked, "Who is... Continue Reading →

In 2020, I rode all of the trails during the month of August. Last year the event was individualized, so this was my first year to participate in... Continue Reading →
Sunshine and I left our resort on Stock Island and crossed over onto Key West. We followed North Roosevelt Boulevard to Midtown where we hit White, Eaton, and Duval Streets. We passed the southernmost point before snaking back around the south side of the key. The last half of the ride was a mad dash... Continue Reading →
Eight miles in the horse lands, with my Sunshine.
This morning I went for a ride with Sunshine up City Creek Canyon and along the Bonneville Shoreline Trail (BST). The trail loosely follows the shoreline of the ancient Lake Bonneville, the largest Late Pleistocene paleolake in the Great Basin of western North America.
The Pa'rus Trail runs along the bank of the Virgin River from the Visitor Center in Zion National Park upward into Zion Canyon. The trail name comes from the Paiute word for "bubbling water" and offered views of the water, the towering rock walls of the canyon, and a few deer. The trail is a... Continue Reading →
A 14-mile paved trail along the Legacy Parkway provides miles of uninterrupted riding and has quickly become my go-to place to ride. The trail passes through Farmington (it begins near the Front Runner station), Centerville (where it overlaps the Denver & Rio Grande Western Trail), West Bountiful, Woods Cross, and North Salt Lake (where it...
