2013 Group Rides

[accadacca]

Who wants to get this going? Many of the lower elevation trails are rideable in SLC. Corner canyon or the bobsled would be a good place to start. :ride:

[PunchKing]

In!

[accadacca]

K. This week it will be Draper. Meet at the Parking area halfway up traverse ridge, its called the potato hill parking I think. Lets meet there at 6 PM, map below. The Google picture needs to be updated, you now take a hard left and go through the gate, where there is parking. Maybe @Iceaxe (http://www.bogley.com/forum/member.php?u=36) will join, its his stomping grounds...great riding. :ride:

It looks like Thursday is the best for me next week. Can you make that happen?

It looks like the weather might be more favorable too...

[REDFOX]

Dang, I am out for this Thursday, but I would like to start riding soon.

[PunchKing]

Thursday works for me.

[accadacca]

There is a 60% chance of rain on Thursday.... This is after we had heavy rain (and snow in the mtns) on Friday, Monday and Tuesday. I got caught in a rain storm up there on Friday and it was not fun. I bet you remember when we hit some mud up there several years ago...not good. We can look for reports from @Iceaxe (http://www.bogley.com/forum/member.php?u=36) .

Lets shoot for next Thursday, anybody else want to join? :ride:

[Iceaxe]

I'll get you some trail conditions and try to join you.

[live2ride]

I would love to join, this weather is killing my plans!

[Sombeech]

Tuesdays are bad for me this year. I'll have to look at Wednesdays or Thursdays.

[RedSpecialized]

Tuesdays and Thursdays are best for me. Just hope we can ride soon. To much snow lately.

[recinutah]

I can ride most Thursdays. Post times and location here or start a Meetup.

K. This week it will be Draper on Thursday. I hope it will be dry enough by then? Iceaxe?

Is this ride still on for Thursday? I'm hoping to make it

[tallsteve]

The CC trails are still closed as of right now: http://www.cornercanyontrails.com/trail-openclosed/. If they open up tomorrow I'll probably join you.

I am planning on giving it a go unless it's a mess.

Hmmm. I just figured after 2+ days to dry out they should be open. Iceaxe might have a report for us. There are other trails as the article mentions that you can ride year-round. We could ride up to Ghost Falls and back.

[accadacca]

That website doesn't show some of the lower elevation trails. Several should be rideable down by the equestrian park: http://www.skidmap.com/?p=40.49642,-111.84352&z=15&v=topo&c=elev,linker,help

[Iceaxe]

If you move the meet-up to the equestrian center you don't have to worry about closed trails as the bottom trails and the north loop to Ghost Falls are always open.

Anyhoo.... it's cold outsdie right now. I'll do the ride if it's warm but you might want to move it back anther week as it doesn't look like it's going to warm up much.

[accadacca]

50 tomorrow works for me. If it looks sketchy up on potato hill, we'll just drive down to the equestrian center and ride canyon creek to BST and spring hollow or out at the pool.

Tuesday next week!!! :ride:

[Iceaxe]

Yeah, but that doesn't help me because I was going to ride my bike to Potato Hill to join up. If the trail is closed I'm out for sure.

[REDFOX]

I'm In for Thursday if Iceaxe is riding. I want to see that orange bike.

[wthomas]

I'll show up tomorrow with another orange bike. :cool2:

[tallsteve]

All trails are now listed as OPEN. I'm going on an earlier ride so I won't be to this one.

I had some major dental work done yesterday, otherwise I would have joined.

I'll be ready to go the following Tuesday. :2thumbs:

[fourtycal]

Riding pipeline tonight. Meet up Milcreek at the Rattlesnake Gulch trailhead at around 6pm if you want to join in. I think it costs $2.25 to leave the canyon.

[PunchKing]

I am there! I think the price is up on the canyon though. Bring $3 just to be safe.

[Sombeech]

The Ogden crew will be meeting at Rainbow Gardens on Wednesday at somewhere around 5:00, maybe 5:30, that's just how we roll. Just depends who's going and when they can get their crap together. We'll have the regulars, plus some newbies. We'll be riding south, then back.

[blueeyes]

around 5:00 maybe 5:30 :lol8:

Tuesday May 9, 2013. Corner Canyon in Draper somewhere as long as those competitive racists er I mean racers are not there.

Anyone with a preference on where to start? We could ride up Clark's Trail from the Coyote trail head, could do potato hill, or even ghost falls. I am game for whatever. Thoughts?

[Iceaxe]

FYI: Next Corner Canyon race is May 14th, also one on June 4th.

May 7th you mean... :ride:
Let's meet at Coyote at 6 PM. There are plenty of loops from that trailhead. :stud:

Who's in? :popcorn:

Yes you are right. I will be at the coyote. It is a pretty good climb from there so I will bring my climbing legs. :nod:

I just got off vacation and haven't pedaled for a while. :scared:

[tallsteve]

I may join you depending on weather. Don't wait for me if I'm not there on time. If I go I'll probably start at the Potato Hill trailhead and pedal over to Coyote Hollow.

[accadacca]

PunchKing and I blitzed a loop in 40 minutes and just got off the trail before a downpour. tallsteve started with us too, but had some mechanical issues and had to go back. We missed a couple other people too. We left the parking lot right at 6pm with very dark clouds looming. Sorry guys.

Where do ya'll want to ride next Tuesday? :ride:

[tallsteve]

Yeah, It's never fun having to sling your bike over your shoulder and hike out because the rear derailleur/chain is so jammed in the cassette the wheel won't spin! Of course it had to happen the day I post in answer to Sombeach's question that the X-9 has been the most trouble-free derailleur I've used! Actually, I'm not sure the problem is the derailleur. Taking it in to the bike shop today. It was also the maiden voyage of a new, lite-weight, fast rolling, front tire I had just mounted and was excited about trying out. Oh, well, another day.
I hear Flying Dog may be ready to go by next Tuesday (hint, hint!).

Dang that sucks!

Good call on the PC trails, might be a winner. :ride:

[PunchKing]

I am game for the flying dog, I will be surprised if there isn't a fair bit of water and mud but will hit it none the less.

[tallsteve]

The only trail that is still closed is Flying Dog. The others, like Glenwild, are open now. With the temps warming up into the 80's over the weekend and a projected 84 on Tuesday, I'm thinking Flying Dog will be open.

[tallsteve]

Park City has a new trails condition page: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AkWMEJ-no-GndGY0dmZIdDFmS205V3RkMjFhTDMzTVE#gid=0

Cool! This would be a great resource to have in a thread on it's own. Thanks for the data.

So is the flying dog ride still on for tuesday?

Lets shoot for the flying dog and if it is still muddy we will ride glenwild loop.

Meet near the restroom on glenwild drive at 6 PM. :ride:

I'm in...he'll yeah...my riding legs suck

[tallsteve]

Flying Dog is OPEN!

[RedSpecialized]

I'm planning on making it.

[tallsteve]

I'll be there. Keep in mind that this is a 16 mile loop so, we need to start pedaling on time or we'll be finishing in the dark.

[accadacca]

I had to run down to Lake Powell to help a friend work on his boat. I'll see you suckers next week...have a great ride. :ride:

[fourtycal]

Fairly sure I'm not ready for Flying Dog on a Tuesday night. Maybe catch up to you hardcore suckers next week.

[REDFOX]

Hardcore, ok I will be there probably riding in the dark.

I showed up and ended up riding Glenwild solo.

[Sombeech]

Hey we are riding Mueller tonight. Probably leaving the Clearfield area around 5:15 (or much, much later :haha:)

Nah but seriously we want to be at the Mueller Trailhead by 5:45 so we're gonna try. If we're not there yet, take off and we'll see you on the trail somewhere. If you see some bogley stickers, take off and you'll catch up to me :mrgreen:

[tallsteve]

Nice to see you on the trail, Matt. I rode the entire 16 mile Glenwild/Flying Dog loop, counterclockwise. No mud anywhere. The top of Flying Dog was tacky and perfect. Everywhere else was dusty dry. After having my bike 'fixed' from last weeks ride, I still experiencing mechanical issues. I had to pedal up the east side of Flying Dog (all the switchbacks) in the middle chainring. My legs felt it when I reached the top. Just before I ran into Matt at the Stealth/24-7 intersection, my derailleur jammed again. Fortunately I was able to fix it enough to coast/somewhat pedal the couple of remaining downhill miles back to the car.

[RedSpecialized]

Any rides for today?

I might be back in a couple weeks...broken thumb. :facepalm1:

[PunchKing]

It looks like this week the weather should agree with a ride. I am sure most of the high trails are still snow covered. We could go do the Glen Wild loop in Park City at Kimball Junction. Tuesday June 4, 2013

Meet at the parking lot on Glenwild Drive at 6... The map is shown like 20 posts ago. Be there or be square.

[tallsteve]

Wish I could go but we have tickets for 'the theater' (said in my most bourgeois voice) that night. As an FYI, AF Canyon is all open.

[Luce]

I have no desire to travel to PC for a repeat of May 14th. Going to stay local and try out the Wild Rose trail tonight in North Salt Lake.

Understood. I will ride Glen Wild solo if I must. I need to get some exercise at higher elevation so I can improve my lung capacity or something like that. Next week post up the trail you want to do and I will be there, committed.

[PunchKing]

Glen Wild was very nice but was certainly hot in the sun. Hopefully the Wild Rose was sahweet.
