To all of those riding the ULCER pre-ride on Sunday with McCool, greetings.

 

I hope you enjoy the course that Jerry Bergosh, Bob Feldott and I have planned for you. We've tried to maximize the time on the lake front, which is mostly very pleasant. Even on the west side, in a desolate sort of way.

 

I’ve attached the ULCER cue sheet. The map is at: http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=1024121. If the map doesn’t open to about 2/3 of the window, click the refresh button. Click and drag to move the map. Use the slide to zoom. The ride calendar says 100 miles, but this one is officially 111. Epic.

 

The cue sheet lists all of the rest stops for the real thing, but only the parks will be available for the pre-ride. And there are a few parks on the course that we are not using for official rest stops. I’ll look for stores when I paint the course on Saturday.

 

In addition, Mickey Applebaum has once again stepped up to drive sag. So we’ll have some rolling support. That will be especially helpful on the 30+ mile stretch on the west side of Utah Lake. Can you carry a porta-potty, Mickey?

 

At the moment, the weather report is for hot and humid. Stay hydrated. Stay fed. Maybe lather up with a little deet as well as sunscreen.

 

We’ll meet at Electric Park at Thanksgiving Point at 9:00. Drive I-15 to Exit 284. Drive west on SR 92 to the light at Thanksgiving Way. Turn left. Drive 0.7 miles and turn right at the large Thanksgiving Point marquee. The parking lots for Electric Park likely will be closed, so park at the curb.

 

Hope to see you there.
