First bike ride of the year

I just got back from my first bike ride of the year... mountain bike not motorcycle... in early February. God bless Utah winters :) It's actually been over a year since I last had my bike out. It spent all last summer couped up in a corner of my garage. In fact, I still hadn't fixed the flat tire that I got in St. George last winter. So, I got her all patched up and went for a short ride in Provo Canyon. The weather was beautiful and it felt good to be on the bike again.

The ride was a little shorter than I had planned. There was a big ice slide that was covering the trail by Bridal Veil falls. It was really strange becuase there was no snow in the canyon at all... I can't imagine how there would be, it was so warm out. But when I got to Bridal Veil falls, the trail and river were covered by a mountain of ice 20 to 30 feet deep. I couldn't tell how much of the trail it covered but it was enough that there was no way to get around it.
