Tuesday May 26th we will be riding Mill Creek Pipeline. Meet at the Rattlesnake Gulch parking at 6pm, we will shuttle up to the gate, ride pavement :roll: up to elbow fork and ride the trail back and down Rattlesnake.
Here is a guide at Utahmountainbikingdotcom http://www.utahmountainbiking.com/trails/pipeline.htm :ride:
oh and there's a $3 fee per car (2009), payable as you leave the canyon. It's free to ride up so you can park on Wasatch and ride to rattlesnake or carpool in :ne_nau:
Maybe I'll come to this and bring my season pass
Is Rattlesnake like Bobsled? Is it more technical or about the same?
It's different. Down, tight switchback, down, tight switback... you get the idea. The top is "droppy" and rocky - after that it's all pretty mellow. However, they've done some work on it and I havent ridden it in a few years...Quote:

Pipeline: My wife is having surgery today and I'll have to see how she is doing in a week. Will be back soon though. :2thumbs:
The top of rattlesnake can be brutal :haha:Quote:

Here is a trip report where my friend Shawn took his last offroad ride :roll: It's all paved parkway for him nowdays :haha: http://www.bogley.com/forum/viewtopi...er=asc&start=0
Hmmm I will think about it. The kids have a hard time with me taking off for bike rides at night and being gone so long. They called me 4 times last night on our ride in Little Cottonwood. When I rode with Beech last he said my phone sounds like the ice cream truck. :lol8:
Your poor friend grounded to paved trails... that is a pitty.
Planning on it!
I live really close to the trail and every time I take a newbie to rattlesnake gulch there is an accident. I will need to post some FAIL pics. Luckily, we were able to drive to hospital/home on our own so far.
Pipeline is pretty easy, downhill rattlesnake gulch is very steep, if you don't know how to ride technical downhill, totally walk your bike.
I haven't posted on this sight for a while. But I have been on a few rides with the group before. The rattle snake gulch is a fun ride. It's what makes riding the pipeline worth it. I'm hoping to make it up there for the ride. I need to start riding more.
:2thumbs: I'm gonna try to make this one! I'll keep ya posted :popcorn:
love the down not so fond of the up :ride:
DAMN. I am gonna have to pass y'all. I am behind in the bikeshop - they piled up yesterday and today. It's a good thing I am off this week :roll: I really can't complain though business is picking up :2thumbs:
Bad news still haven't gotten my bike from my brother who borrowed it. He won't be back from work until after 6 pm and I don't have keys to his house. :frustrated:
Good news I've got a season pass to Mill Creek Canyon and will try to bring a truck to ferry pepole up the canyon and then head off for a trail run. Where would you like to meet so you don't have to pay the enterence fee? Can also run a shuttle down canyon for those that don't want to ride the road after Rattle Snake Gulch.
I so wanted to come tonight... but my lovely babysitter graduates here in a couple days and they are doing a graduation dinner for her at 5PM tongiht. Maybe I can make next weeks ride...
I'm out as well, just found out that I have to work late tonight....... :frustrated: ....... Maybe next week.
Can't make it tonight. Have a blast!
I may make it this week, have to check with the puppy dog to make sure he won't miss me too much.
Who am I kidding, it is Tuesday, the bike is prophesied to be ridden on said Tuesday
So where would you like to meet I'm offering my season pass and truck so you don't have to pay an enterence fee.
For now look for a White Dodge Ram 1500 before the stop sign to head up canyon.
sorry. Got off work late, changed and rushed over there. A little behind scheduled and then I realized that I had taken the pass out of the vehicle, wasn't worth it then.
