I used to jump on the Jordan R. Trail at 400 S and take that to 17th, but it adds about 10 min. to the ride plus peds, goat heads, and bugs.
That must be a bear of a climb getting back up to 30th and 30th. You out at UPL or the state offices?
UPL(RMP) office.
The climb is steady, and I have found a route through Sugarhouse that yields a max grade of only 6%. It is sustained at 4%-6% for about 4 miles, with a couple of breaks.
Looks like our routes cross on N. Temple!
The ride home was nice today. low 90's 13% humidity. Caught up with a very fit female cyclist and exchanged pleasantries. I'm married with a kid, so I'm not in the market, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't appreciate the beauty of a woman on a bike.
