    First Day of Spring… First Mountain Bike Ride

    Jason MitchellBy 1 Comment1 Min Read

    Beautiful, sunny skies for the first Saturday in seemingly forever and the trails beckoned. My backyard trails in Lambert Park in Alpine, Utah had my number. With one of this year’s test steeds (Scott Genius 20) in tow, I was off.

    The trails were a little muddier than I had thought, so my ride was cut a bit short to wait for another day. Only a few more warm Spring days and the trails should be stellar. For now, I’ll chalk it up to working the kinks out and getting some exercise–a system test of sorts. Looking forward to what the season will bring.

    A native of the Pacific Northwest, Jason quickly developed a love for the outdoors and a thing for mountains. That infatuation continues as he founded this site in 1999 -- sharing his love of road biking, mountain biking, trail running and skiing. With extreme attention to detail, he has been a technical product manager for top 10 web properties, eCommerce businesses and SaaS companies for 20+ years. The combination of outdoor experience and technical savvy gives him a unique perspective that is channeled into every gear review. Utah's Wasatch Mountains are his playground. He rigorously tests every product and usually uses them beyond their intended purpose -- just for the sake of testing. (Note: Jason receives sample products in exchange for authentic reviews. He is not paid, nor influenced to share anything other than his honest opinions.)

      I rode Mississippi trails in the middle of February with 6-12 inches of sitting water and mud! It would spray up to the shoulders it was so bad. And colder than hell once you get wet!

      Wet or DRY, RIDE EM HARD!
