    Sonofa! So sorry to hear that. It takes a special breed of cretin to steal a bike with baby seat on it.

    Stunningly gorgeous out today.
    Last storm people couldn't hold their horses and trashed shoreline trail from dry Creek to bobsled. C'mon motherfuckers. If it's muddy, DONT FUCKING GO!

    Speaking of which I rode Shoreline to Bobsled for the first time yesterday. What an absolute blast - though no jumping rusted out cars for me.

    Can’t believe it took me this long. Stupid fun.

    The course is 95% marked. If you are riding, there is a rock roll you won't want to do blind.

    I'm in Fruita and working my way back to Missoula this week. Plans are Fruita Tues, Weds, maybe Rabbit Valley Thurs, Klondike Bluffs Friday. I'll pivot and head to Moab if I get bored or weather forces a move.

    I'm thinking of hitting the Supercross race in SLC on Saturday night (also weather dependent) - I could ride something in SLC area on Saturday morning.

    Is there something along the way, or local that I should hit to experience the area? Or, just hit another day down south before I head up.

    Before Sunday afternoon most of the stuff in the SLC valley proper was dry and running well. It's rained on and off since then. If the forecast holds true, the same stuff should be good by Saturday morning.

    I hope Grand Junction is included in your agenda. Lunch loops are better than anything at 18 rd, Mac/Loma, or Rabbit Valley IMO. I’d put Palisade Rim up there too even though it’s short.

    As far as in-between, the Pahvant/Spinal Tap system in Richfield is awesome. Enquire locally for a shuttle for Spinal Tap, the crown of the system. Not sure if they’re getting this weather as much as we are but the top of that is pretty high and north facing. Things are well saturated here with lingering snow in the foothills but TS is right, looks dry and warm all week.

    Lunch loops was stop #1. I remember Holy Cross being easier 10yrs ago. Of course, I was younger and less risk adverse riding with a group.

    Thanks for the other suggestions, I'll research.

    FWIW I'm not a big Rabbit Valley fan compared to the other stuff on your list.

    Agreed. It's flat. Cool scenery and "out there" feel though.

    Rabbit Valley is more of a fond memories ride for me. I think it was the first big loop I did along the river with amazing friends and views.

    Any specific trails or locations in the SLC metro area that I should look at? More of an xc guy, I can hit most drops, but I'm not looking for dh specific riding. This is a fitness building trip.

    I'm partial to Draper for XC riding, but it's also wicked close to the house. It's a choose your own adventure type of trail system. You could be out for 40 minutes or 4 hours. LMK if you need some specific recommendations. I'll probably be down there around the noon hour.

    Draper has great trails but I rarely go there as I get a fake vibe out there. I'd recommend doing Lost lad and bobsled in one ride if you want fitness and great downhills. Bobsled has a rep for downhillers but it's jumps all have ride-arounds and the fun part is the banked turns for 95% of the riders. A strong intermediate can easily do Bobsled. Probably the best dry trail around here and a classic.

    I'm not going to defend Draper, but I'm going to shit on Bobsled. Unless you're there to get footy for the boys, it's just a garbage trail. There's a reason it's called "junk ditch." If you want jank, there's plenty above that without having to deal with brake bumped berms, sandy washes and all the beaters.

    I have never met anyone who hasn't loved that trail or called it junk ditch, in 20 years of living here.

    I am not surprised, of anyone who posts here, you don't like it.

    There's people in this actual thread that call it JD. It's as overrated as the Crest.

    When I moved to SLC back in the 26", v-brake, over inflated xc race tire weight weenie days, I thought I was hot shit. Ate shit bigtime on the old entrance.

    Bunch of trees/branches down at elevations low enough for leaves and high enough for much snow.
    So the world is filled with tubular entities. Food goes in one end and shit comes out the other. Sperm goes in and babies come out.

    We are lucky to have amazing XC riding above downtown and in Draper. I love Bobsled in the spring and fall when there is some moisture in the dirt, one of the most unique trails I have ever ridden. If I had to pick my favorite XC riding in the Wasatch it would probably be the stuff around Orem but I'm weird.

    I like riding bobsled, and I like 19th Ave, they makeup my startard little ride from home loop, and sometimes twin peaks, but that shit is steep getting up there.
    Dry Creek to twin, to 19th, and back up to bobsled and home.
    Good riding.
    Lost lad is fun too...
