Bike plans for 2007
What trips do you have planned in in the back of your mind for this year?
I really want to ride/push my DH rig up from Big Springs, up to the Cascade Saddle at around 10,000 feet. Then bomb all the way down to the valley floor. 5000 foot vertical drop give or take.
but i am going the have to wait a few months for all the snow to melt....

Dang - those are 4 or my Utah favorites! This is going to be an exciting summer for you
What/where is Upper Icebox?
I really really want to ride the Tahoe Rim Trail this year. The pictures I've seen are crazy beautiful... just gotta make the drive and do it!
Plus I really want to do a 2-3 day backpack/mtn bike ride. Not sure where or how far yet but it sounds fun.

It's near Broken Mesa in St George, but doesn't look as gnarly.

I think I'll just start off with buying a bike. Then maybe I'll ride it to Einstein Brother's, and pick up a bagel. Afterwards, Starbucks.
That should be enough for me. ;)

That's out of my league right now.

Upper Ice Box is lame, although it does tie into Broken Mesa. There are lots of better rides in St George. We will have to ride City Creek, Herritage park, Turtle wall and others next time Sombeech.

I am going to head down to Goosberry soon, Hit Moab after that then probably only be able to ride at Antelope a few times before the snow melts.
This year I want to hit this trails a couple of times each.
Wasatch Crest
Mid Mountain,
My usuall north rides (ben lomond, snowbasin, skyline mueller, etc)
More park city rides
American fork
Nebo
Two wheels are better than four, keep the rubber side down.

Mountain Trails Foundation has a map of all the Park City trails, but it looks like they've pulled the old 2006 until the 2007 map is available. (Supposedly later today, but I'll believe it when I see it).

I want to ride quite a few trails in the Park City area, I also want to go and watch the E100 race, I would love to compete in it. The tour de suds trail and gravedigger are on my list too.

I would be more than willing to lead a few rides in the Ogden area especially some of my favorite rides. I would take anyone around any of the trails on or around snowbasin, we need to hit lewis peak as a day long group ride, and I would also like to camp over night up at benlomond or north fork or Mueller or somewhere we can camp and bike.

Dont really have any other plans - a lot of time out of town this year doing other stuff - One thing we are going to try to do is a long weekend in Durango, and we're going out east for the 24 hours of Killington race.Two roads diverged in a wood, and I - I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference. ~ Frost

Three things I ride all the time that you guys GOTTA ride:
BLACK DRAGON- in the SRSwell- 18 mile downhill into a gnarlly cliff-cutter wash fast & fun as hell.
IRON WASH SINGLETRACK- also in the SRSwell- Burly desert singletrack with as much technical challenge as you can stand.
FISH CREEK TRAIL- in the Manti forest- Runs from Skyline Drive 17 miles downhill along the creek. Crazy-fast marshy-alpine run. Ends at Scofield Res'.
...Of course, you guys haven't even seen the singletrack here in town yet, so this other stuff might be a bit much for ya.SCREW SEA OTTER!!!!!!! http://FuzzysBicycleworks.com

As for 2007? I'd like to do some mtn bike touring this year. Load up the Yak and take off for a long weekend. Anyone here tour?
Moab is always fun, but theres nothing like running miles upon miles of high alpine meadow single track and aspen groves in mid summer. *drooool*

The Moab run is gonna ROCK! Id love to do Amasa Back again, probably get some good pics on it with Safari going on and Porcupine Rim is always a good ride...shuttle up to the trailhead and leave a vehicle down at the little park near matrimony springs(north of town)...cuts lots of miles off the run, as for riding off the Skyline Road Id prefer to shuttle up & ride like a bat outa hell down!
