Training Ride 8-5-08 - Saltair

This Tuesday, Joe and went on a 4 hour bike ride. The route was from our house, up past the airport, then on a frontage road that leads to Saltair. Unfortunately, we didn't make it to our destination, as we were running out of energy and we didn't bring any food with us. We were only 4 miles away! Next time, we'll make it for sure.

Here are a couple of pics of the trip.

You can't drink enough water while riding.



When you're riding a bike, you are able to appreciate the scenery more. Here is a nice shot of Antelope Island.

This is looking back towards the airport and downtown. The weather was quite moody. It was nice to not have to ride in the sun.



Here is our route. We went about 28 miles round trip with 25 lbs of salt in the trailers. It was a nice, flat even ride compared to the Emigration Canyon ride!



Here we are. Tired, sore and as happy as can be!



Here is a small taste of the ride.
