Great Outdoor Store

If you're ever in Utah County, check out the Out N Back outdoor adventures store. You'll find camping gear, hiking gear, climbing gear, outdoor clothes, tents, sleeping bags. All kinds of cool and "neato" stuff.

I like the name brand stuff prices as well as other brands for even cheaper. The store also offers what they call "Dirt Cheap Emails". Sign up for it and you'll be tempted at least weekly to stop by and pick up a new outdoor toy. Which isn't bad because it's a fun store to wander in. The staff is pretty friendly and though I haven't tried it, they have a pretty technical rock climbing wall.

The Dirt-cheap-emails also anounce when they have blowout sales at season end. That's spam I don't mind.

Take your bike to work

Take your bike to work

On Monday I loaded one of my two bikes on top of the car and drove it to work. I realize that isn't a perfect interpretation of take your bike to work, but for me it is my only realistic option. Currently, I live 60+ miles from my current office. That would take some serious time to ride to work!

Taking my bike to work and leaving it there is a great option for me. I always take a full 1 hour lunch and my office is at the mouth Provo Canyon one of one of the most beautiful canyons on the Wasatch Front. Provo Canyon is home to Bridal Veil Falls and Robert Redford's Sundance Ski Resort. It's already been a lot of fun to have my bike at the office. Just this week, I've used my lunch time to ride on the canyon's Provo River trail system and of course a trip to Subway for a sandwich. It's quick, easy and a great mental break.

I think I'll plans to take a chair-lift ride at Sundance and ride one of the downhill trails on the mountain. I'll also try to ride some dirt trails in the area. I'm not sure how I'll smell after those like that so I'll likely save those for a casual Friday.
