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.

In!

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 will join, its his stomping grounds...great riding.

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.

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 .

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

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.

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

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,-...ev,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!!!

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.
