After working in Centerville all day, I drove to Farmington and took a trip down Legacy before going home. Very nice ride but when I got to NSL the rains came and I was soaked before getting back north to Bountiful. Then the wind blew and before I made it to Centerville I was dry. Crazy

After the Ward Swim party in Farmington, we never swim, but we go eat, we drove to the Farmikngton Station and then rode our bikes down Legacy to NSL and back. It cools down nicely and riding home in the dark is pretty awesome too.

The Annual Bike the Bear at Camp Hunt. We arrived on Friday about noon and found the last camp site in Sunrise Campground. Sat around til it cooled down and then rode our bikes out to the overlook and grabbed a couple geocaches then back to the camp to drive to Camp Hunt for their Spaghetti dinner. Saturday morning we got up and packed our camp up and into the car before heading down to the Garden City LDS Church parking lot to begin the ride. Headed off at 8am and rode south around the lake to the Idaho State Campgrounds where we rested for a minute before heading back. It was perfect weather and nice people to ride with. 500 approximately bikes. Back to the church by 12:30 and headed up to Sunrise CG to set up camp again and rest. Spencer and Anita were the campground hosts, very nice people. He's black and she has no vocal cords so speaks with a electronic speaker she holds to her throat. I hope to see them again. Spent the night and then woke to drive back home and made it in time for P'hood Mtg.

This morning before work, I hopped on the mountain bike and rode Legacy. Also rode north on Aaron F Richards Parkway and took a photo of the sign, on further north to a road closed signed turned around and then all the way south to Redwood Road, then back to ride the AFR and back to the suburban. Saw a white Equinox which honked at me while heading north. Not sure who the 3 women in it were.

In preparations to the annual Bike the Bear next week, we decided to ride bikes as part of the family reunion at Bear lake this week. Drove to Laketown Park where we unloaded the bikes and headed north along the east shore of the lake. Rode to the Idaho State Park, stopped and used the potties then headed south back the same trail. I saw a car tire tube along the road and decided to pull it out of the bush and set it along the road in case someone wanted to stop and pick it up. As I picked it up, I noticed it was full of air and ready to use so I put it under my arm and peddled back to the car with it. 8+ miles. I also stopped and chased after a geocache on the way home with my tube. Fun day and the temps were perfect.

Finished my letter to Elder Landon and grabbed by bike and headed to Legacy before work. Rode from Farmington to where Legacy crosses Redwood Road in NSL. Turned around and rode to the other end. North of Farmington Station is the newly named "Aaron F Richards" Parkway. About 1/2 mile long is all but hey I knew the man.

Left kinda late but decided what the hay. Drove to Legacy and was almost to Farmington when it dawned on us that we did not have lights for the bike ride. Kept going anyway. Rode our bikes all the way down to the start of the Chevron Mile, where we turned around and started back. It was pretty dark and before we made it very far we were wishing we had lights. My tail light kept the bikers from running us over from the rear.

South Weber Days this week so decided to ride the bike down Legacy again tonight. Got to the Train Station about 8pm and started riding south. Made it to the 5th South Overpass and decided to turn around. Made it back to Farmington in time to go watch the water fountains at the new shopping center. They have been compared to the fountains at Las Vegas and other resort towns. I wasn't real impressed but was pretty good for little old Farmington.
