Payson, UT to Salt Lake bike route

Martin Krieg

I am loading our Mayors' Ride route with also writing from my new book
for Reno to Salt Lake. At our new mapping site,
http://www.bikeroute.com/BRdC , it is titled as Mayors' Ride Fallon to
Ely =

http://www.bikeroute.com/BRdC/route....php?routeid=77

However the route from Payson UT to SLC has always been sketchy. Can
anyone help?

THX for all of U!!

My bicycle ride from Reno to Salt Lake City is described at
http://www.mvermeulen.com/nevada/index.htm

Look at the entry for July 6th for a description of how I went
from Payson to Salt Lake City.

I saw this & THX for pointing it out. However Mike V writes in this
great piece:

--------------------------
then west to Springville and a short Burger King break. At this point I
picked up 89
------------------------

I need to know exactly which road(s) he used to get from Payson to
Springfield and then to 89...

Hwy 6 to Payson was also a little vague and I hope I guessed right at
our map site for this route:
http://www.bikeroute.com/BRdC/route....php?routeid=77 ??

THX so much!!

There are two general ways to do this route, one east of Utah Lake
(urban, heavy traffic, and kind of a complex route, but with services) and
west of the lake (desolate, no services for about 35 miles, but little
traffic unless you're out there on, say, a holiday weekend). Which are
you looking for?

It's like confusing parakeets and meerkats

"I got an ad about the new GC the other day. Free T-shirts to the first
1000 in line? I'll have to pass -- I ain't going NEAR the place
Thursday night. But I wanna get in on some of those Grand-Opening deals
on strings, and the Crate guitar amp for $49 is tempting.

Marty,

I'll have to look at my more detailed Utah maps to see what roads I
took (or someone from Utah may have more info).

It may be a month or so before I can see these maps as I am currently
in Beijing and on my way to Thailand for a
bicycle trip from Bangkok to Singapore.

Hey Mike!!

THX so much for this heads up. Hopefully before U get back, maybe
someone local to that area might have helped me fill in that blank as
that is what our maps at BikeRoute.com are all about.

I know for example based on my two rides across America that it was
always the locals that had the best ways to get across their city. For
example, if you were to show me how to bike from the train station in
San Francisco to Golden Gate Park, it would be completely different from
how some one who lives there would do that ride. Who else would know
about the 'wiggle" (what used to be a creek,it is flat and avoids
hills) for example as per this route from Max Chen:

Maybe Bill can help as per an earlier post in this thread:

Good luck on you bike trip. Sounds exciting!!

Yahoo Bill!!

As per what I just posted Mike Vermeulen, are U local to the area below?
And in a perfect world, if you have Firefox or Safari, can I get U to
draw either or both of these routes at http://bikeroute.com/brdc ?

Here's a video I cobbled together to show U how. It's easy and fun once
U get the hang of it:

THX 4 U!!

Martin, evidently you didn't get my e-mail. If I'm going to work out a
route for you, I should probably know (1) whether you want a route east or
west of the Lake; (2) what part of SLC you're aiming for; and (3) where
you are coming from: US-6/50 from the west, from the east, or up from the
south?
Feel free to e-mail me, address below.

I saw your E and have not answered it yet due to meetings and other rods
I have had in the fire. In addition, Scott Campbell, our 2006 rider put
his route on there and everytime I go to grab the url so I can get that
to U for your approval, I can't open the page bcuz our developer is
working in there........

Never mind, he just got off. Can U look at:

http://www.bikeroute.com/BRdC/route....php?routeid=80

and tell me what U think?

THX 4 U!!
