Tuesday group ride invite - Trailside Loop and Skills Park

[crankshank]

A few of us discussed riding The Skills Park (http://www.utahmountainbiking.com/trails/trailside-park.htm) last Tuesday. We can park at the base of the Skills Park and do a couple laps to warm up and then ride the trail around Round Valley Loop (http://www.utahmountainbiking.com/trails/roundval.htm), which is adjacent to the skills park, or vice-versa. The Skills Park has a great variety of obstacles and tracks. You could honestly bring your wives and children on this ride, and they would be able to find a spot that suits their skill level. There is also a skate park at the base of the Skills Park that is fun to play on. We could car-pool from Mill Creek Park and Ride.

That skils park is a lot of fun. You can practice certain skills over and over. I think on about the 15 or 20 time, you can start to pickup the skill, if you are practicing it right.

I would love to go up there again. But, Tuesday's is bad for me.

I will be there. I will probably just see you up at the skills park.

[crankshank]

I guess that makes 4 of us...

[PunchKing]

What time are you going to be there? I was planning on 6.

Sorry guys. I hope to join you again soon. I have a busy stretch of work for the next 3-4 weeks. :cry1:

With a little more notice, I probably could have made this ride. I didn't know that there were any skill parks around. I would like to do as many rides as possible since the days are getting shorter.

[PunchKing]

The park was super fun. I would recommend that everyone gets out and does it. There were only a few things that really looked like you could damage yourself. Everything was even beginner friendly.
