Wind not out of the North

Today I Can!

Great ride through Provo but the GPS routed me up through a residential section of Salt Lake City that had a lot of construction. Additionally the wind was out of the North despite the fact that the wind is never out of the North in the summer in Salt Lake.

Just another view in Utah

No statue for Crankshaft

Had a pretty nice climb in the middle of the ride and the views of that part through Provo were great. When I was riding through the residential section of Salt Lake I couldn't help but wonder if the folks that walk out the door to a sunrise or sunset over spectacular mountains if they take them for granted, so I asked and sure enough they do. They said after a while, they don't really notice them anymore.

Here is to not taking for granted what we get every day, whether it is warm skies, beautiful mountains or whatever you open the door to, take it in and enjoy it. Here is what I saw on the ride in Utah.
