| WOW...what a Ride! 51.64 biking miles, a virtual "tour of Salt Lake County".
I started out going North on the MountainView Corridor trail until it terminated at California Ave. Then I rode North on 5600 West, across I-80. I saw another rider going East on Amelia Earhart drive that looked like he knew where he was going, so I followed him and caught up. He was heading back to the "Avenue's" area and asked if I knew about the bike path THROUGH the airport.....which I did not!
You have to open a couple of doors (5) but you get to cut completely across the airport and end up on N. Temple. He recommended that instead of just turning around when I hit 25 miles that I travel back on the Jordan River Parkway.
What a great suggestion! There were a couple "sketchy" areas at first, but the rest of the way was great. I rode that all the way down to 7800 South. Then I went west until the Old Bingham Highway and worked my way back home.
