    I'm headed to SLC! Ride recommendations??

    Hey All
    Been awhile since I've been on TE. I've been a bit busy to say the least.
    Anyway, I'm driving up to SLC 4th of July weekend to support the Pro BMX racer that we sponsor at a National race. As always, I'm bringing the bike along, and I need to get in at least one or two rides.
    The race is in Sandy (I think?? or maybe South Jordan?) at Rad Canyon BMX, and we are staying nearby. If any of you kind ladies could give me some ride suggestions, I'd appreciate it. I just need to get about an hour in, so not looking for anything too long. And no big climbs either. I'm a sea level girl!! ha ha
    Thanks again, and hope all my TE buddies are well!!

    I am leading a club ride in Sandy on the 5th of July. Check on the Bonneville Cycling Club calendar. They have multiple rides daily that you could check out as well.

    The park is WOW (way out west). The big, big climbs are to the east but there is some climbing on the west side of the valley too (into the Oquirrhs). To stay flattish, you'll need to head east from the park, which will take you into suburbia and traffic. You could stay on the west side of the valley and go north; you'd hit rollers but nothing substantial.

    Whatever you do, stay OFF of the Jordan River Bike Path (which is north of where you will be). Goathead city!

    Here's a site with a bunch of rides, but most of them are east of I-15 (you will be west of I-15): http://www.saltlakecycling.com/showallrides.php

    Check this route (the bike park where you will be is off of Old Bingham Highway, which shows up in the middle of the map):

    Honestly, I don't ride out that way much...I generally stay north and east. I'll be around that weekend and if you find yourself with a lot of time I could chauffeur you on a ride in the northern part of the valley.

    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!
