Hi all

I'm heading out to Salt Lake City, Utah at the end of the month and I'm going to rent a road bike to use before and after work. I'm looking for some good routes that are no more than 2 hours from downtown and back again. Emigration canyon road looks good but I'm not sure what else. Any ideas?

Thanks

Ian

Take a ride up to Snowbird, that will sort your legs out smile Plenty of routes up around Park City as well, I have not ridden them but will take my bike out next time I am visiting HQ.

Check out the Strava Heatmap for finding roads that are cycled a lot - worked well for me in Houston

Zoom in and you get more detail, but here is a wide shot:

That's awesome - Thanks smile

I can see there are a bunch of canyon rides to the east so I think I've got a few ideas now.
