5 Mile Pass: A Different Ride
Saturday I met up with Sally for a ride at 5 mile pass. Now if you have never rode out at 5 mile pass you are in for a pleasant surprise. Sally compared this ride to St. George area rides and she was right. I lived and rode in the St. George area for about 10 years and it does remind me of the Dixie trails. We started the ride just past the 5 Mile Recreation Area where the Pony Express Trail Sign is and road around the mountain on the left coming down the gully in the center past the pig farm (law enforcement training facility). I don’t mean any disrespect, I really thought when someone called it the pig farm that there was a pig farm there, it’s just a nickname is all.
We had a very nice ride, Sally is a very strong rider and when she tells you this is her first season at this it blows you away a little. She rides like she has been doing this all her life and can simply roll away from you leaving you wondering if you are the weaker sex.
I did get a little bit of video so for more on this ride check out the video.
