We took the tandem out today for a ride from our Utah condo.  We decided to use the Utah Velo Saturday ride route and head through Provo on University the over to Sprinville for a climb up Hobble Creek.  Hobble Creek is not much of a climb and in the entire 60 mile ride we didn’t even reach 2,000 feet of total climbing.  We did check out time on the time trial course and came with a 44 minute climb, not bad on a tandem when we were not really racing.  At the top we stopped to take some pictures.

There are some beautiful homes long Hobble Creek so we stopped on the way back to take a picture of a few of them.

Later in the day I went out on my single bike to climb Squaw Peak.  After making the climb I continued up the Provo Canyon highway to Nunn’s park and then went back down on the bike trail. About half way down I had to stop because there was a moose right in the middle of the bike trail.  I wish I had my camera with me but it was back on the tandem.  I have seen many deer before while on a road bike but never a moose.
