Salt Lake Century

[Lifesgreat]

Anyone doing this? I am toying with the idea of the 67 mile option.

I remember some have said it was rather chaotic on the road. If I do it, I am hoping I am slow enough not to participate in the chaos.

I was considering it too but have not heard good reviews about it from anyone I talk too.

Maybe we should just create our own UT TE Girls ride for that day?

Me too!!! I rode it last year and it was very hectic...lot's of riders, but I will do it with other TE'ers or our own ride that day If I do it, it will be the metric century...last year I ended up riding 72 miles.

I did the full last year. My advice is to start after the pack...at least 10 minutes. I think if you do that your ride will be much more enjoyable. I would NOT recommend starting with the pack. I have never ridden in such a chaotic ride as this one, but I started with the pack, which was a mistake.

It's not a pretty ride; the only scenery is really when you get out to the causeway and ride to the island (which is nice) . It is a flat ride, and good for an early season century (or whatever length you choose to ride).

Also, be aware that last year the riders in the shortest length did not get lunch, even though they paid the same entry fee (the lunch stop was at a rest stop that was not on the shortest route). I don't know if they remedied that this year, but it's worth asking about if you sign up for the shortest route.

Have fun if you decide to go for it!

I just signed up to do the metric. I will either head out before the 'official' start time or wait till after the big rush goes out. I need to ride the miles before LRRH. I will be out of town the weekend before LRRH and I don't know what type of riding I will be able to fit it....time with twin sis for our bdays

So where is our report??? Looked like you may have had a mighty strong headwind coming home (just like last year)!
