by Don and Mary Margaret WILLIAMS 26 Mar '06

26 Mar '06

in spite of the windy conditions on Saturday - a group of about 35 cyclists gathered at Draper Park 3 riders chose the Sugarhouse 30 mile route 1 rode a longer version for 40 miles 15 riders chose the 60 to North Salt Lake with an additional 8 riders who didnt sign in 1 rider opted for an 80 mile route 8 rode the full 120 - with the last of us not returning until 5:45 pm If you missed it, you missed the best ridiing day of the week in spite of the wind. It was a good diverse group of folks who wanted to get out and ride their bikes .Quite a concept for a bike club. Don W.

The outbound route for Saturday's Urban ride has been flattened to make it a little easier since last weekend was not conducive to riding. It will be an urban route extending up past the Syracuse Maverik with options on the return to stay flat in the valley or ride the benches for a downhill finish back in Draper The weather should be great so come on out questions? 801-641-4020 Don W
