Liz and I have really been enjoying Provo. Its nice to be at the foot of such a beautiful mountain range. About two weeks ago we bought Liz a mountain bike so she could ride it to work with the idea in mind we were going to try our hand at mountain biking! So this last Saturday was our first go and it was a BLAST! We had a ton of fun. It was a trail called Big Springs trail. It was in the south fork of Provo canyon and it was beautiful. The website we got the directions from called it a "beginners" trail so we figured it would be pretty leisurely...WRONG! It was definitely a work out!
Here is a picture of a sweet pond thingy. It was beautiful...and cold.
Here is Liz crossing a creek.
Here is Liz and I being artistic. We are so tough we walk with our bikes on our shoulders somtimes... its for fun.
Liz and the Hickenloopers (Scott and Wendy) are kicking it at the sweet pond.

Us taking a well deserved break
A beautiful creek that was running along a lot of the trail
I'm not sure how many vertical feet we climbed but it was a ton. Here are two videos for your viewing pleasure. The top one is Liz climbing up a very long hill. It was tiring to say the least. This just shows the very last part. The bottom one is a video of me climbing up the steepest part of the trail. It was a really good time! Next time you see Liz and I our thighs are going to be as big as your neck so watch out!
