Nice, looks like we will have a few peeps to go for a ride with once it warms up.

CJ, what color r6 you got ? I used to see a red one on my way to work (cottonwood heights) around 72nd south, aknowledged each other. (mines the LE black with red flames)

ahh cool cool, nice. I was chatting with a guy on a blue r6 in orem.
I live down in Spanish Fork, so not far.

Nice to see all these riders pop up in Utah, we should be able to get a good group together for a ride once the snow goes.

r6-ravon-slc
01-25-2008, 10:18 PM
maybe we can do a ride buy the guys in orem and spanish fork.i really dont know of anyplace to ride if you guys come up with a idea let me know.i want to get some use out of my bike this year.not just this to and from work bs

01-25-2008, 10:43 PM
Parleys Canyon is a good ride, as is Provo Canyon, maybe we could do some kind of loop stopping off in Heber or somewhere....
I havent been riding that long, so not really sure on great biking routes

RVNRIDER
01-25-2008, 10:46 PM
i know some pretty good roads to ride :) around orem provo then the canyons as well all know them, but yeah we all should get together if we get a good day soon and go for a ride, i still need to break in my bike

The Nebo loop is sick. It goes up through Nephi and comes out in Payson, and its a fun mountain ride with really good twisties. It is only about 130 miles round trip from SLC so even less from Spanish Fork. Logan canyon on the way up to Bear lake is way fun, and pretty. There is the ride to Morgan which goes through emmigration canyon, and its only about 70 miles. There are soo many good places to ride up here. I could go on for days.

958VRM
01-26-2008, 12:25 PM
Yeah I've DRIVEN the Nebo loop, love it.... I'm up for riding it.
The Alpine Loops (american fork canyon to Sundance, Provo Canyon) is ok, its a little tight in spots and there are a lot of trucks that fly up round there - but otherwise really cool.

I live down in Spanish Fork, and work up in Cottonwood Heights, quite the ride... when its cold :)
My only real concern is the state of the roads, so many realllllyyy bad pot holes I'm thinking it might be a bad idea.....

CJr605
02-27-2008, 10:37 AM
Yeah spanish fork is a long way out. And I understand the potholes they suck! All the snow this year really effected the quality of our roads which already wasnt the best.

958VRM
02-27-2008, 11:30 AM
yeah winter screwed the roads bad this year. I ended up not riding today, was -3 this morning when I left (7:30am) but now its really nice out, makes me regret my choice :(

Hey everybody, I am another fellow Utah rider up in Logan. I tend to go up to Bear Lake a lot, but I want to try some new rides this season. The ride down to SLC on the freeway sucks with all of the construction still going on, but I still get down there a few times during the summer. I had no idea there was this many of us from Utah on the board.

Went for a ride up big cottonwood yesterday at lunch with a buddy, was awesome.
I cant always get out for lunch though, and thats only when I ride into work.

I usually go for a ride *Somewhere* most weekends. Met up with CJr (a few posts up) a couple of weeks ago which was fun. Must do it again maybe with a few more.

Tomorrow and Sunday are looking good, I'm gonna be out and about - probably do a loop from Provo Canyon up to Heber, through Park City (grab something to eat) then through Parleys, over into SLC - shoot up Big Cottonwood Canyon then head back down to Utah County.

How is Big Cottonwood Martin? I havent been up there lately. Any water on the road?

958VRM
04-26-2008, 10:38 AM
hey man, we only went up a third of the way (during lunch) a week ago there was only one little section of water - but there was some salt and crap on the roads so didnt get to really get into it. Was hoping for it to be better this week. I should be around tomorrow if you want to go out for a bit, I got a few things to do, but can get out for a hour or two.

Im off on the weekends.... was all over today riding around, infact, just got home 1:25am :YEA

I'm down in Utah County. FYI Nebo loop is still closed, went up anyway ... around 7000 there was lots of snow, but still ridable, 8000 completely covered in snow, so had to head back. Gonna check Alpine loop tomorrow, I fear the same deal though.

I got a lunch date, but should be done by 12:30 so if you want to meet me at the Old Mill complex around 1pm Im in Old Mill I building, there is a load of construction in the parking lot, give me a buzz when u get there, I'll come down.

I'll txt tomorrow morning to confirm I rode in.

Anyone else feel free to join 1pm at Old Mill parking lot in Cottonwood Heights, thats just off 215 on the south east corner.

Went for a ride through east canyon yesterday what a gorgeous ride! That was a blast. About 175 miles round trip if you take the full loop it was great. There are some excellent corners in there.

Yeah that would be fun! Im not sure what my plans are as far as who im riding with but shoot me a PM and we can try to put something together.

I was planning on going to the superbike race on Sunday... but something has come up.. as of 5 min ago :( so not too sure now. Plus trying to save for a new car = $60 for a ticket is a little steep.

Might ride tomorrow - but doubt I'll have time to blast up cottonwood.....
