Biking the Bonneville Shoreline Trail
Getting back into mountain biking is a lot more physically demanding than skiing. We biked around our hood today on the Bonneville Shoreline Trail and then explored the University of Utah campus. It's going to take some time before I've got enough stamina to really tackle the miles of trails in the Wasatch foothills, especially when the elevation is so demanding. I'm really digging that Cyclemeter App on the iPhone. Here's the elevation graph for today's ride:

Now that it's finally warming up in SLC, we went for a hike in our zip code to see what The Living Room was all about. Not much, it turns out, but hiking around the foothills is a spectacular experience. The vegetation is unlike anything I've ever seen or smelled. It's going to take us years to explore all of the trails in the area.
I downloaded Cyclemeter (great app!) from the App Store, but I forgot to turn it on at the start of the hike. That's why the route doesn't loop:
