Parts of the BST are real muddy and not good to ride at all, or run, but in the mornings it's probably fine, or if it cools down. Really variable out there the past few days.

But Bodybag is...

Ha, good rant and a great 24 hour trail. I hiked down it with my dog tonight, I had no time to get my bike shit together, put the bike rack on the car, etc.

So you guys gonna ride this too, where...

That's hilarious, I hike that area with my dog and thought it would be ripe for a direct chunky pirate trail right where you put yours. Haven't seen that jeep yet.

Park City is essentially lift served cross country and I've ridden the lifts with some confused tourists looking for their park.

leave this review on their site please

get ready for daily texts about underwear and relentless emails about reviews, sales, or anything they can think of because undies are sooo important. Marketing department goes hard.

Good timing.

Corkscrew looked sketchy but rode surprisingly nice IMO. One of the few things I could ride on that trail.

Thanks for the historical photo!

Part of the old old empire trail that had a lot of built stuff on it? There was even a corkscrew on it at one point.

ha! I saw a mtb guy biking up Millcreek yesterday on my way up it, it was 101. Probably one of many

My wife rode with a true beginner at DV yesterday and reminded me that the top of holy roller is used to access a bunch of trails which means there are some fast riders on it. They will be patient...

He said "really beginner friendly which is not subjective, and alluded it's a wife or 10 year old. Sorry, it's just simply bad advice without thinking it through. You'd send a 10 year old or a newb...

I'll be polite and just say this is very bad advice about PC trails unless your true beginner happens to be a natural talent.

Only true beginner trail that's lift served on the PC side is Holy Roller. There's also Ripple on the bottom half of the mountain which for some reason I can't remember ever riding or knowing about....

Park City paved and gravel trails are pretty sweet. Tons of miles up there. Not much shade. Starting at Willow Park and going to PC is nice. Also the Rail trail paralleling 248 is chill.

I saw a bunch of MTBers on their way back north on HWY 28 last night, I figured Richfield trails musta been busy over the holiday.

It wasn't across the road though, it was across the singletrack. Lake Mountains sound similar, ha. Scary.

Lost Lad is great - you may grow a distorted view of biking around here if you think Lake...

I see it as a young-ish mans DH line, and I'm aging out of that stuff to be fair to the builders. No need for me to hit anything that's not intuitive and easy these days. A lot of the jumps look like...

Checked it out. I now redact my shuttle day invite - that no one accepted. I don't think I will ever bike there again. Garbage everywhere like a third world country, a group of gun enthusiasts 20...

First ride with the 10 month old puppy, I'm soooo happy how well he did. 6 months ago I had a sinking feeling I would never be able to ride with him, he was so out of control mentally. Still needs...

Thanks Mega. We should get a shuttle day going up there soon. I can shuttle 5-6 people easily.

I haven't been up there in many many years but I'll probably pedal up there on Sunday to check it all...

Antelope Island report - insanely buggy and a bit hot

In related news - the Crest needs some time before it's rideable.

Everything down there is going to be muddy for weeks, I think. Just call up the ranger station that gives out permits and ask though. Shafer road is closed right now, not sure if that means to cars...

I always skip Red Coat because it sucks, or has it been improved on in the last 5 or 7+ years? I remember it as very flat with turns that don't match the speed you get up to.

I don't think so Dan.

Anyone ride Cyn City? Its was surprisingly packed in last night for being open for one day - people must have been riding it in before opening day. Fun trail with the best berms Mountain trails has...

That's not photoshopped, its probably a random photo from the web he posted, and probably not from Utah.

I wouldn't do lower CMG with a beginner. I would recommend doing a portion of mid mountain as it's a classic trail and not hard. You can even drive up to mid mountain at Empire Lodge and do a loop or...

Speaking of bad DH trails, I rode Mordor for the first time this week and was sad afterwards.

And who's Dustin Malley?

New Rush, DH only Jacobs....I'm almost tempted to go to Corner Canyon for the 1st time in 5? years.

I know of Moose Bones, Moose Poop, Moose house, Moose Puddle, Moose Hollow but I can't remember where Moose knuckle is.

And who names all this shit the same anyways?

If it was that, and you may be right, nevermind, ha. For some reason I remember a similar-but-different loop but Trailforks says I'm wrong there's no other way to do it.

Happy to find another short old school PC trail with some questionable switchbacks and narrow bits through trees, but it was pretty short and not anything I highly recommend to anyone. But...

And he did it with style! So cool.

What if you are a runner and a biker though? Do you get off your bike and try to run past him? Would he let you pass then?

Wednesday looks rainy/snowy for any upper elevation rides in the Wasatch. Down south looks similar too. Maybe the forecast will change?

I'd skip SLC and PC and do rides off i70 since that's the direct route. Desert temps are dreamy right now and the riding is much better.

Or do you have a non-riding need to pass through SLC?

I drove up it to about Black Mountain on Monday. It would be a slow, long brutal shuttle with bikes, it's pretty much an ATV trail. Unless you had a side by side with a rack which you could zoom...

After the recent heavy rains I'm finding all the sketch loose gravel that's always on top of the super steep foothill trails have been washed out and the surface loose rocks must have been absorbed...

Guardsman is a shitshow of closed-down I80 traffic going through it. I wouldn't bike anywhere near it. Millcreek is being evacuated. LCC should be good tomorrow.

I'm guessing the trails are empty because people are avoiding future lung cancer.

Boissal needs a YT channel and to post a vid for every ride, with commentary in-the-moment.

Did the wildlife learn French or English swear words?

Payroll is not for beginners IMO. And Spin Cycle should be pretty overgrown and whippy the whole way down this time of year.

Maybe Empire bus to MM to CMG down (if not a true beginner or a...

Huh, that may be him! He (or someone who looks like him) was taking rocks embedded in the ground on Corvair last night near the top first switchback, which is an area that isn't really technical or...

Who is the old PC dork with a goatee or soul patch who is taking out rocks on trails? Talks like a stoney surfer bro, acts like a kook.

If you read your post/route to me in person, this is how it would go in real life:

me (with a smile): "what?! Why would you do that. You have to go down Puke Hill
you: yeah that part sucked but I...

I wasn't expecting a warm welcome to my post but it's all in good fun, we can rip on each other here I thought? Wasatch thread is a safe space in this forum to do that. We are not the enemy!
...

I don't mind riding DeadTree/Apex down, but going up Guardsman to drop into that DH sounds like one of the worst loops possible in all of PC, IMO. I have zero idea what Shadow Ridge is. Shadow lake...

I did 3candles/keystone/fat lip to McConkeys road, then 9k to Payroll Sunday. No complaints. Great peaceful view going down 9k to empire. Then go MM to empire link, cross Dalys and up to MM and go to...

I rode Armstrong downhill once, it's a fantastic descent. I ran into dozens of people going up which was awkward.

(I broke my chain before reaching the HAM cutoff)

And it's good to hear I'm not...
