Mountain Biking around Utah in the fall

It's my favorite time of the year to ride. The air is crisp and pungent with the smell of decaying leaves, signifying the end of yet another growing season and the emergence of winter. Better get my legs in shape. All of the maple trees around Utah are going off right now with vibrant displays of color, and the aspens will be soon to follow. There is nothing quite like turning off your brain and racing through the mountains on a bicycle, the forest becomes a blur of color, like a two wheel trip with kaleidoscope eyes.
