Nice ride in PC today

Won't bore you with the details. Basically I wanted to try a new route up the mountain for preperation of my big b-day ride I'm planning. For those who don't know, Park City (PC) is just up and over a narrow mountain range from SLC. Once you get to the top of the ridge you can easily drop into canyon roads or trails and head down to either side. The tough part though, is climbing to the top!
So today I went up the PC side which is about 1,500ft less climbing and quite a bit shorter. Overall it was around 3,100ft in app 6.5 miles that took about 1hr 20min. The route didn't pan out as it was too straight up and therefore way to steep. I never really have to walk any trails and today I did!
At the summit I was right at 10,000ft with a great view. I took a quick vid and some pics, even stitched together some pics but it didn't turn out so good.
Here are the pics:
From the top the view is pretty great:

This was a section of trail that was rather steep! I was riding down it, but this section was just too steep for me. Loose rock and ultra steep trail is a bad combo!


Looking down this steep section. Remember it's always steeper than the pic can show.


So my big b-day ride will be leaving from my house, riding up Millcreek Canyon (12 miles/3,100ft), up to the Wasatch Crest trail (not sure mileage but around 2,000ft), down to PC (3,000ft descent), lunch/break, back up to the ridge and down to my house. Total mileage should be around 42miles with a total elevation gain of app 8,500ft. That my friends is Superman territory!

Here is a link to a short vid of the summit today showing the entire view:
