Bruce and Jackie the biking-crazed terrier About Bruce Argyle

Bruce is UtahMountainBiking's website editor. He has the annoying habit of writing about himself in the third person. Bruce started writing trail reports on the web in 1998. He wrote all of the UtahMountainBiking.com trail reviews, first-aid pages, and fix-it instructions. He shot most of the photos you'll see on this web site.

Bruce has several mountain bikes including a Cannondale Team Rush, a Gary Fisher Superfly 100, a Scott cyclocross bike -- and a couple of road bikes. Favorite bike: depends on the ride.  Favorite ride: Gooseberry Mesa.  Favorite statistic: Overall Series Championship, Expert 60-64 Division, Huntsman World Senior Games 2011 with Gold Hillclimb, Gold DH, and Gold XC.

Brucie and Jackie... Does anybody love YOU enough to run 20 miles behind your bike, then lick the sweat off your ankles?
Bruce was riding his bike in the dirt long before there was such a thing as a "mountain bike." As the "explorer" of UtahMountainBiking.com, he checks out the trails, often with only Jackie for company. When you see photos of a trail with no human being in sight, chances are the Doc was there all by himself.

Yikes!

The Biking Power workout DVD, one of the toughest trainer workouts ever made, stars Bruce exercising on his bike on the trails above Park City. He also films and edits the video shorts found on this web site.

Bruce lives in Alpine, a small village between Salt Lake City and Provo, just outside the border of the Lone Peak Wilderness. He has seven children, plus a hyperactive little dog.

A compulsive collector of new hobbies, Bruce is an accomplished underwater photographer and videographer. Other time-wasters include painting, backcountry hiking, sailboarding, waterskiing, and snow skiing.

Bruce is a board-certified emergency physician at Salt Lake City's Alta View and Riverton Hospitals. He's served as chairman of the Emergency Department at Orem Hospital and at Cottonwood Hospital, paramedic medical director, Medical Staff President, member of the hospital Board of Governors, President of the Utah Chapter of the American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP), and president of his five-hospital emergency medicine group. He officially "retired" in 2007 but is back working part time. Bruce rides his bike frequently, because that's the best use of his valuable time.
Surprising for a guy who frequently endos onto his head, Doc Argyle is one of the world's foremost medical-simulation programmers. He completed work on the award-winning cardiac resuscitation simulator "Cardiac Arrest!" in 1985 and founded Mad Scientist Software to publish it. His work includes 6 emergency medicine training programs, 4 medical textbooks, and patient education software.
Water skiing at Utah's carp farm: Utah Lake. As a "mature biker," Bruce is getting slower and clumsier, but is still adding new trails to this web site. He's squad captain for UMB's Intermountain Cup race team -- which means he cooks the after-race hamburgers.
