Foothill Blvd - Scuzzy photos of yesterdays ride
So since the weather here has been absolutely perfect (compared to last week specially) - the temperatures are ideal, I just had to snap a few photos on my ride yesterday - they are nasty camera-phone photo's but it was still a great ride;
For those not familiar with SL,UT (Salt Lake Utah) Foothill Blvd, runs along the foothill of the Wasatch Mountains - gets very little traffic and offers a stunning view of the salt lake valley, the great salt lake and antelope island and has very little traffic!

I agree, the weather has been absolutely perfect this week, and oh how I love Wasatch Blvd!! Road biking in Salt Lake just wouldn't be the same without it. It looks like the 2nd photo was taken just by the Mount Olympus trailhead?
BTW, I've seen some of your routeslip stuff - nice =)

Definitely sounds and looks like a nice place to ride.

Yeah the weather has been AWESOME! Looks like we've got another week of it. Yeehaw! I love the whole big cottonwood to city creek benches area. Maybe I'm bias because I live smack in the middle of it and ride there 90% of the time, but it just seems to offer great riding all around.
