right to the top

A year ago, a week after our arrival in Utah, H jumped on his bike and headed up Little Cottonwood Canyon.  He only made it to the second avalanche gate before having to turn around.  When he got back to the apartment, he vowed (well, that might be a little strong - "said," is probably more accurate) to ride it again in a year and go all the way to the top.

One year later, Sunday, October 10, 2010, H jumped on his bike and headed up Little Cottonwood Canyon.  He rode right to the top this time.

Stats:  1 hour 31 minutes; 12.94 miles; average speed 8.5 mph; 3,825' elevation gain.  (In comparison, when he did the Mt. Washington Hill Climb, the Mt. Washington Auto Road is 7.6 miles long with 4,620' elevation gain.)
