AM Seat Time

I'd like to start riding in the morning while we've got such good light and cooler temps. It seems like I always have conflicts in the evening and it's blasted HOT. My wife and kids are in bed in the morning and I can drive straight to work to shower. Plus I've been riding my dirt bike so much that I'm +10 lbs of where I'd like to be. It'll come off fast on my MTB.

I'd love to ride the crest, but need another vehicle. If I have to ride alone it'll be mueller park, LCC, Draper and wherever. I would like to meet at 5:45-6:00 AM. I want to see how many days in one week I can ride. 4, 5, 6... :naughty:

Can anyone ride tomorrow? :ride:

I can't this week. :haha: Too far away but.... what about Mon or Tues next week. Crest was on my list of rides I wanted to do while up north.

I could prolly make that happen. Keep in touch on this thread. Monday might be best at this point.

Monday will work. Hope others join.

I rode the LCC trail this morning. Anybody wanna ride tomorrow? I might ride Draper, the bobsled or a trail in mill creek.

Riding again tomorrow morning. Let me know if anyone is interesting in a ride before it hits triple digits. I plan to ride at 6 AM somewhere in the Salt Lake Valley. :ride:

Hey blue. We ride sardine, icebox, wheeler on Monday's. We usually leave the trailhead at 7pm if interested.

That one is on my list to hit while I am up there as well. What trailhead do you meet at bigred?

@accadacca how about a different morning for the Crest? Sunday, Wed, Thur??

I could ride Thursday morning.

Wednesday might just work. We rode mueller this morning and it was crowded. To shuttle, we start from the lower parking lot, ride up maples, sardine, icebox and wheeler. About 11miles or for a round trip: maples and sardine and loop back to the starting point. I like to start early and I have to be at work by 11 am that day. Let me know if that works out.

If we do it Sunday morning Spencer will ride. I think... depends on time because he is harder to motivate in the early morning than Mark. :haha: But I can do either or both doesn't matter just tell me what time to be in the parking lot.

Overflow parking at Snowbasin right? Sardine? Unfamiliar with this.. Do you not ride up to Cold Water Lookout? Do you end back at Snowbasin parking lot or down at bottom of Wheeler?

The choice is outs for where we want to end. If we have a few people, we can arrange for a shuttle from the overflow to wheeler. No shuttle, we'll make a loop. I'll drop some info on here later about the routes. Sardine is awesome. Fast runs and a few switchbacks. We ride this nearly every Monday.

If no shuttle Spencer is out. :lol8: I would love to do the shuttle but I don't mind the loop. Is Sardine that new trail up there?

I am out of town this weekend, but available to ride Monday morning if anyone is interested. I will likely be riding in the draper area exploring some new trails. Let's keep an eye on Thursday and see if that day works. If you guys plan another ride let me know and I'll see if I can swing it. Evenings have been busy lately.

Scott on Thursday where did you want to meet at 5:45 AM?

James what day am I meeting up with you guys?

I will have limited access to the web after tomorrow.

Wish I wasn't out of town all next week.....but the week after I'm up for a Monday or Tuesday am ride.

Pending weather, I have an extra seat on the 7am shuttle for 7/14/12. Late notice I know and the weather might not work out anyways.

We could ride in Draper on Thursday. 6 AM at the Coyote Hollow parking: http://drapertrails.com/Maps/CornerC...ilsMap2010.pdf

Unless you wanna ride some other place?

Looks fun, where exactly did you want to meet? Keep in mind I am not familiar with that area.

Coyote Hollow is just above the Draper Temple. See the attached google map. There are a bunch of options from the Coyote Hollow parking (40.493531, -111.838996): http://www.skidmap.com/?layer=terrai....83647&zoom=14

On Monday morning I started at the Equestrian Center and rode the Highland Drive Trail > Spring Hollow > BST > Creek View.

Anybody else wanna ride? I'll be riding somewhere in Draper bright and early.

This morning I rode up Clarks, then over to the top of Ghost Falls on the dirt road, then down Ghost Falls, over North Ghost Falls, on to the Gas Line, then back to Coyote Hollow on the BST. AWESOME! :ride:

From yesterday morning's ride up AF Canyon. My brother, a very good amateur photographer, is here visiting from Atlanta, and wanted to shoot some photos of me biking.

Cool photos Steve! I rode in Draper this AM, but might consider AF soon too. :2thumbs:

Perfect morning!! Cooler temps and the trail was damp after light rain last night. I rode Ann's, Brocks Point, Canyon Hollow, Ghost Falls North, Gas Line, BST and Potato Hill. 7 miles of GREAT stuff! :ride:

I am riding again tomorrow if anyone is interested. It took me about an hour (of riding time) and could have been done quicker. You can do some nice loops in 60-90 minutes. I usually get to the trailhead at 6-6:30AM.

Attachment 56946

Another loop. Really tired after this one. 10 miles with some good climbing on the return. :slobber:

Taken along the BST, just above South Mountain Golf Club.
Attachment 56982

I rode my bike to work today. I stayed mostly on the Jordan River Parkway. It was about 17 miles from South Jordan to Thanksgiving Point.

Attachment 57013

Snapped this one on my way home from work last night. Boy was it HOT! :scared:

Attachment 57039

This morning I rode in Draper....again. This picture was taken along the Canyon Hollow trail.

Attachment 57040

I took this shot the other morning along the BST near the Potato Hill junction.

Attachment 57457

I took this last Thursday morning along Ann's trail in Draper. I am riding tomorrow and Thursday morning in the same area at 6:30 AM. Summer is starting to fade...get out of bed and join me. :ride:

Another great morning today with fall colors starting to come out.
