Sitting at the Summit Park on-ramp we had a choice to make: Try to merge onto a gridlocked I-80 or drive the extra 30 miles over Guardsman Pass to get home to Millcreek.
Neither option appealed to us but ultimately, we opted for Guardsman and an hour and half later we were home while Google was still showing 80 as a dark maroon. All we could do was laugh about the fact that our “quick” bike ride had turned into an epic.
As an avid mountain biker, I drive a lot. Three to five times a week you can find me driving to hit the trails in either Draper or Park City.
