My previous rides up Big Cottonwood Canyon and American Fork Canyon were so much fun that I decided it would be a nice relaxing ride to help me get my mind off all the stress at work. It was not at all like the other two rides, nor was it relaxing.</p> <p>For one thing, Provo Canyon is a freeway. I guess that didn&rsquo;t really cross my mind until I typed it just now, but it&rsquo;s true. Provo Canyon is a multi-lane divided highway. The ride up the canyon was a lot of fun. I had a great tail-wind pushing me up. In some spots I was able to hit the &ldquo;red line&rdquo; a few times (75 mph &ndash; indicated). I imagine I was only going about 65 mph, but that&rsquo;s a topic for a different day. It was a great ride up the canyon.</p>
