Earlier this week Jake and I spent the afternoon riding the trails at Grand Targhee. The trail crew up there has been extremely busy this season. First we took a couple laps on their new beginner trail called Greenhorn. Only being a few weeks old, it obviously still needs work but is well on it’s […]
Last night after work Will and I rode a few of the XC trails at Grand Targhee Resort. None of the 3 are very long in themselves, which would be great for a beginner or someone short on time, but combining the 3 makes for a decent ride. We actually rode all 3 and then

Last night I got out for an after work ride with Habitat’s weekly “Man Show on Dirt” on the Phillip’s Ridge trail. There were only 6 of us willing to make the drive from Driggs to Teton Pass and tolerate the road construction along the way but it was definitely worth the trip. The ride
Today I rode the South Fork of Horseshoe Canyon. This was only the second time I had ridden this trail. The first time was probably 6 years ago and it was the first trail I ever rode in Teton Valley. Back then it was a completely different trail used mostly by horses and motor bikes.

Too much work and not enough riding this last week. I did manage to get an after work ride on Mill Creek with the wife one day this week, otherwise not much else to share. Yesterday I tried to make up for that a little. I took G-Funk, the world’s slowest coonhound, up Hagen/Hagen to
Today Beth and I rode Phillip’s Ridge for the first time this season, which is easily my favorite trail in the area. There were still a few patches of snow between the first section of Arrow and the uphill on the ridge trail, all of which were pretty easy to get over and should be
After a week of rain and over a foot of snow at higher elevations, I was finally able to get some riding in over the last couple of days. On Thursday Jake and I rode the North Fork of Mill Creek to the lower half of Mill Creek proper after work. This section of trail

Today I pedaled up the Old Pass Road from the bottom which is a 1900′ climb crammed into 3.5 miles. I probably should have recorded that track with the GPS since it connects most of the trails on the pass. There’s always next time. From there we rode down Fuzzy Bunny which only had one

I decided to take an easy Sunday ride and check out one of the areas newest trails. Parking on Old Jackson Highway I started up Rush Hour, although it wasn’t long before I had reached the end. This trail parallels highway 33 near the bottom of the pass on the Idaho side which is pretty
This afternoon Beth and I took G-Money over to Teton Pass to ride there for the first time this season. While a handful of people were still skiing a fully covered Edelweiss and Telemark bowls, we pedaled up the Old Pass Road. Not long after turning onto the Phillip’s Connector we started running into patches

Over the last couple days Beth and I did a couple laps on the lower Horseshoe Canyon trails. First day we rode Bovine/Shark’s Belly/Probation/Burgh/Bumper/Cody’s/Sodbuster/Southbound/Channel Lock which add up to 12.5 miles, today we rode it all again except for Southbound which made for 9 miles. There are still two small patches of snow on Probation

Bovine was completely clear and in great shape. Shark’s Belly still had a couple 6′ long patches of snow, there was one tree down, and the old bridge is starting to feel a little rickety, otherwise it’s in pretty decent shape. Kind of interesting to see how the landslide that covered part of the trail

Today Beth, our good friend Kevin, and myself rode a section of the Hagen Highway trail which was completely clear. We were considering checking out Sink Or Swim but weren’t sure how much of that was going to be open. Afterwards we rode Hagen from the Cache Creek trail head to the end. Actually we
