Temple Quarry - Office of James Livingston

Today's ride was not only a physical test, but educational. We went to the office of James Livingston, an early pioneer who superintended the temple quarry until the Salt Lake City, LDS temple was built. (40 years in the making) You never know what you are going to learn when you ride with the Parleys Canyon Riders...

 Look close and you can see where they drilled holes to break the granite rock

2nd Annual Ben Jacobsen Memorial Ride

This morning several riders met at the base of Emigration Canyon to once again ride the canyon that Ben Jacobsen was the KING of. It was a beautiful morning for riding with friends, family and nature. Enjoy some of the highlights........

GREAT TEAM! 

 GREAT LOOKS!

GREAT SCENERY!

GREAT FINISH!

A New Rider Joins the Team

BIG WEEK for the TowTruck Moesser... He adds a new member to the team... CONGRATS!

Hope you all got out this week and are continuing to lose the cheers from the holidays. Has anyone seen Briggs?

Rex, 20 minutes after his Big Start!  Looks like he is working up a sweat already.... :-)

Legacy Parkway - LET'S GET READY TO TRAIN!

Yes, it's time again to get out and wear off a little of that winter coat, and some have put on a little more than others. The temps hit 60 degrees today and so a few of us took to the road. We are still working with some of the older riders to get an earlier start, but they need their beauty rest.... :-)

As you will see from the pictures/videos, we are are always looking for NEW sites and NEW friends.

A BIG thanks got out to Bro. Lloyd and  Hale for being there when I need help changing my tire.  (TWICE....Kim, you haven't been replaced yet, but you better start showing  up)

 Who can tell me where this picture was taken?

Hale, you have been holding out on us... These cookies are to DIE for!! THANKS for the treat!

 

A Great Way To End The Year!

It's hard to believe 2011 has come and gone. WOW, what a year!  For many of us, LOTOJA, was the ultimate..... 206 miles, 3 state, 1 day. However, for me it was NOT the race, but the journey that will be forever embedded in my memory. Thanks to you all for a great riding year and may the new year bring many more memories of YIPPY SKIPPIES!

Happy New Year!

Moab - 3rd Annual Fall Ride

Yesterday, was a defining moment for some of the PCR as they left SLC at 7am to join the Glausers already in Moab to ride through the Arches National Park. As you will see form the pictures/video below it was inspiring... Another treat for the boys of the PCR was to have our local 3 time gold medal Olympian, Mary Glauser, join us on the ride. Yes, she was the first to the top of many hills and in her own humble way said, YOU MEN AREN'T THAT TOUGH... :-)

 Here's to Steve Hale for putting together the BEST RIDE EVER!

 Lloyd, pay attention we are taking a group picture.......

Now that's better, but smile next time.....

 WOW!

 Here's a couple for your screen savers.... :-)

 Fiery Furnace

 Balanced Rock.... anyone got a golf club?

 Our LEADER for the day.... THANKS STEVE!

Good Food, Great Friends!

12 Hours of Sundance

And you thought the LOTOJA was tough..... Some of the Parleys Canyon Riders took to the mountains today and I think you'll agree, mountain biking is NOT for SISSIES. With a rainstorm the night before, the course was a little muddy to begin with, but that didn't stop these riders......

 What happened to Cory? I'm tired of doing all the work!

 Riding with your buddies is the BEST!

 How long can you balance without falling over?

 Base Camp, KEY to good food, resting, recovery from injuries,  and lots of laughter!

 I'm SOOO TIRED!

 "Now, when you get to the top, make sure not to fall because it really hurts"

"Tara, I should have listened to you.......... :-("

 This is such a COOL bike rack.....

 Carvings in the side of the mountain from ancient bikers.......

 Tara and her BOYS!

 Tara and Cory, I think you have grown....
