Petro, Wade, And the Rob's (my uncle and his friend) and I rode Flying dog last night and long story short; fun.  I still haven't figured out why its called flying dog but that's okay.

We started at 6 pm at the very bottom of the mountain behind the park city elementary school,  normally we would have started higher but they were resurfacing the streets in Jeremy Ranch so we couldn't.  All in all it added about 3 miles of trail but it was fun.

 As you can see from the profile, this ride is about one thing, climbing.

Starting in Bobs basin we climbed 450 feet before hitting the flying dog connector trail (the trail we normally would have started at).
From there it was another 850 feet to this point.
it was very green and the weather was beautiful.  We rode this road for about 200 yards before hitting the flying dog trail. 

The big rock you see was once half buried, peacefully enjoying being a rock when it was rudely jarred out of place by an errant toe.  The toe, for its part, broke under the might of this noble rock.  Nature; you scary.


Here is wade climbing through the wildflowers, near the top.


I would have more pictures to show you at this point, but in my stupid haste i deleted half of them.  So you will have to deal with the video which, thankfully, lives on a separate folder on the card so it wasn't oafishly erased.  Look above for the video, coming today or...Tuesday.
