Erika and I rode this morning for a nice flat noodler. We wanted to get some miles in without taxing the legs too much with the Salt Lake Century coming up on Saturday. She was coming down from up by the Smiths between the mouths of the Cottonwood Canyons, so we met at the Cotton Bottom sometime around 6:30 AM. We rode down 6200 S / Vine and headed south on 9th East. We finally hit some construction and bailed west and looped back to the next north east route to backtrack on 9th etc. Erika rode with me all the way back. We even decided to eat at Blue Plate. Mmmm! Sausage Biscuits and Gravy. 34.5 Miles! Read More

We were originally going to start at 7:00 AM, but some wanted to go earlier, so we obliged… sort of. The 6:00 AM meeting at Lindsay’s went ok with only one tardy rider, but we were on the road by 6:30. We were to pick up 3 more en route, and after miscommunication with Mike, a slow down pseudo wreck, and tire gutting, Shawn finally road to get us. We met got out to Rob by somewhere near 7:00 AM so much for an earlier departure.
We road the usual 20th E, Holladay Blvd., Old Mill route then headed south on Wasatch passed La Caille and up over into Hidden Valley. Troy bid us farewell while we continued on Wasatch down into Draper via 17th E and finally rode out 13th E to the base of South Mountain. We took Highland Drive passed Mike Wier Drive. Yes he has a road, but so do MLKjr, Ceaser Chavez, and Rosa Park, and oddly enough, so does Wayne. Read More
