Birthday Mountain Bike group ride, 9/25
Yes, my birthday is Saturday, and I have a rare weekend off. So I'm going on a miniventure, and leading a ride.
In the Mountain Biking Utah guidebook, page 129, there is a trail named Three Forks/Diamond Fork. Its also listed at Utahmountainbiking.com, but doesn't have the Strawberry Ridge option, which takes the trail into a 24 mile loop. Diamond Fork is located a little ways up Hwy6 out of Spanish Fork.
This isn't a mild ride, with around 3000' of climbing. Plan on 3 or more hours on the trail, depending on ability. Ride at your own pace. I fully intend on enjoying every minute of the ride, stopping frequently to regroup, take down fuel, and enjoy the day.
Meet at 0900 at the trailhead, 9/25. If anyone wants to work out carpools or carvan down, I'll be leaving my house in West Jordan @ 0745. Email me directly.
You can get directions to the trail here

I will transcribe the mileages from the book before the trip for anyone that needs it.
The weather calls for 55/70 sunny, probably be a bit cool. I suggest bringing appropriate clothing, and some form of lunch.
I'll likely stick around afterwards to wet my flyline in the river.I'd appreciate RSVP's from anyone planning on going, so I know to look for you before stepping off.
I might even have beer on ice for after the ride....

Sounds like fun. If there is an extra hour added in to allow for skinny diping at the Fifth Water Hot Springs then I am in. It would be a shame to ride right next to them and not give my white ass some sun.

It's been a while since I was up there, do you know if the road up Diamond Fork has been reopened yet from the water pipeline construction? It could've opened 2 years ago for all I know, but I know the timeline for the closure was very, very long.
