Cool Beans Yellow! Thank you soo much! Since I'm driving the boy (I use that term loosley. He's 21 and ALL MAN!! Ask Clock!! ha ha) , I will prolly be leaving PHX for SLC on Thursday instead of Friday, so I'll need to ride on Friday. Prolly need to get a short run in that day as well. And then Saturday racing doesn't start until 11:30, and pro practice is usually 10:30 to race time. So my guess is he'll want to be there by 10am to get settled.
So my ride will prolly be pretty early on saturday.
One thing with travelling with a professional athlete is they understand your need to get training in! ha ha
Anyway, I'll check out the links!
Thanks MUCHO!!

The club does a totally flat ride on Friday evenings near the airport, if you don't mind driving up there. It's an out 'n back if you don't want to do the whole thing. Doesn't get any flatter than this around here!

Hey, RM. I tried to PM you, but couldn't.
I recently did a tri at Oquirrh Lake, just south of the BMX park. You could ride from the Daybreak neighborhood, south and west. There is some mild climbing, but then you get a great speedy return trip. Daybreak has a paved trail all the way around the lake and it is a fun little run. If you are interested in company, let me know. There is a little reservoir for swimming a bit further south, if you want to swim, too. Oquirrh Lake is closed for swimming except on race day.
The flat ride out by the airport is okay. Part of the pavement is pretty chopped up. I was recently out there because it is lightly traveled and provided a good place for me to experiment with aero position on my new bike. I wouldn't ride out there by yourself, as it is relatively isolated, but parallels the interstate. If you want to do that ride other than the time the group is doing it, I could meet you there, depending on when you want to go.
There are some pretty places to ride up in Park City, and it will be cooler there, but would take about 40 minutes to drive there from where the BMX park is.

Lots of riders go down around to Camp Williams; I never have, because we slip off that course and go to IKEA to eat meatballs & jam.
I think Brewer has a map my ride link to the route somewhere. I'll post it if I can find it.

COOL Malkin!!
I think I'm going to do the 15 mile route. Thats just long enough for me. Since I'll have the car, I can't be out too long.
Are the roads pretty safe out that way? Good shoulders/bike lanes etc? Or should I be prepared to play pinball with the cars? How are the drivers?
