Mike and I did a tour of the Southridge/Moose Hollow/Hidden Cove area today. We left the house, turned north down the Hidden Cove Connector, east on Hidden Cove Road, down Moose Hollow to East Canyon Road, back up Moose Hollow to the gated community, climbed the upper part of Moose Hollow to the fire road, up the Avenues, down the Avenues, down through the Woods of Parley’s Lane, and finally back to the house via the “trail behind my house.”
I think the ride took a little over an hour and a half, but some of that time was spent mingling with the owners of Hobbes’ sister, attempting (unsuccesfully) to fix my helmet cam, discussing bagel shop management issues, and attempting to locate the mud slide hill for future powder skiing adventures.
Moose Hollow Trail was awful. Dusty and rutted on the way down, steep and unrideable on the way back up. The Avenues was awesome. That’s about it. Made it back home in time to watch the worst officiating ever at the end of the Washington vs. BYU game. And made it to work in time to watch Utah blow out UNLV. Go Utes!
