The Beware of Doug loop, high up on Draper's "Far Side" inside a tangle of hiking-only dog trails, has a singletrack connector down to the gravel Deer Ridge road. Almost nobody knows the connector is there. Got info for you here: utahmountainbiking.com/trails/Bewar...

There's a new rocky expert-level DH trail in Cliffrose north of St George that begins up in the cooler air at 6200 feet elevation. Looks like they're going to name it Hollowpoint. Info on the Cliffrose trail page: utahmountainbiking.com/trails/sprin...

The Firefly Bike Park (located just south of Cedar Fort off SR 73) is great fun! Three DH runs vary from Easy to Upper-intermediate to Nutso Expert. But finding your way to the parking area needs a bit of explaining. Info: utahmountainbiking.com/trails/Firef...

Littles Creek at Joes Valley is open, with 10 miles of new singletrack. The trail system was built for mountain bikes, although it's open to all non-motorized users. The riding is pretty and mellow. Info: utahmountainbiking.com/trails/littl...

Checking out the new #304-305 DH trail at Mueller Park. 2.4 miles, 900 vertical. Looped through Peregrine for a 9 mile 1500-vert ride. Very nice for a trail that's still looking for a name. Info at: utahmountainbiking.com/trails/muell...

Hit the new Beep Beep, Road Runner, Puddy Tat, and Tweety Bird trails yesterday. Two trailheads have been torn up, which means I need to edit 14 Coyote-area trail pages on UMB. Here's the new stuff: utahmountainbiking.com/trails/jorda...

Hey, do you know about this? As of 2025, a valid Utah hunting or fishing license is required to ride your bike inside a Wildlife Management Area (WMA). For example, the Timpanogos foothill trails above northeastern Orem are now a "fee area" and a fishing license is your "yearly pass."

It died today. Before there was a UtahMountainBiking shop in Lehi, or a UMB racing team, this was my winter trainer. The variable resistance control went bad years ago, and today the roller seized up solid. Lots of "miles" on this thing, over... 25 years? #basementbiking
