Saturday August 14 Jon Scarlet will lead a moderate road bike ride in Park City. This will be a good chance to practice your (gentle) hill climbing and turning skills. The ride will be in conjunction with the inline skaters from the SkateNow group from Salt Lake. We’ll start with 4 miles on the Union Pacific Rail Trail (3% grade down going out), then do a couple of miles on a wide recently paved deserted road with a long, great hill. Then we’ll take a paved bike path under SR 248 to a network of several miles of smooth, newly paved roads around the new hospital and the ice rink. We’ll regroup when we’ve all had enough of twisty hilly roads for the return 4 miles (3% uphill this time) on the Rail Trail. Scenery is great. Except for an occasional bike, we should just about have the route to ourselves. Don’t forget the sunscreen and water. There is no shade on this trip. Bathrooms are at the start. We can have lunch at El Chubasco or at a brew pub back at the start of the Rail Trial. Total mileage will about 15. Meet at 10AM at ”City Park” in Park City near the skate park – (1400 Sullivan Road) 14th Street and Sullivan Road on the east side of Park Avenue, at the south end of City Park.
