Road Bike: Upper Weber Canyon - April 12

Mike, Gail, and Waller met at Oakley City Hall to ride up Weber Canyon to the dirt road turn off for Smith and Morehouse Reservoir. The ride climbs very gradually and traffic was very light. We rode at a conversational pace and enjoyed the wonderful scenery and pleasant temperatures. The sound of the Weber River, many birds, and squeaking ground squirrels added to the ambiance of the ride. After 12 miles of gentle uphill, we walked our bikes for a couple of minutes to stand at a bridge over the Weber river and enjoy light snacks. We imagined the area covered in snow and populated with snowmobiles and snowcats taking skiers into the surrounding hills. We discussed trails in the area for future hikes and all agreed we would definitely come back for this ride again. The ride down canyon was windy so we got into formation and took turns cutting the wind. We rode back to our cars and headed to the Oakley Diner for awesomely priced mimosas and yummy breakfast foods for our post ride lunch.
