mtb ride on the Antalope Island

hard run in the morning in Park City,

1h 45min, offroad, muddy, hilly, 21km,

done.

next session was then the nice and easy part of the day;

mtb ride for 3 hours on the Island of Antalope State Park. close to Salt Lake City and the home of freeroaming bison.

beautiful view in a very quiet, lovely area. a few bugs around, but that fact kept us riding and having the wind to blow them away. we had a lot of un out there, and one big challenge;

how to pass a 2000 pound bison, standing in the middle of the trail !! I was pretty happy, that Emma took the lead on this section. she talked to this huge animal like talking to her dog Kip. and it worked ! by the way; bisons have a huge head, and they are really smart, and mostly friendly.

this is my last week of hard training here in Utah, before flying to Austin, then racing Xterra Waco and after that back to Europe.

best wishes
