Hey, just looking for anyone in the area that would want to go out and ride some of the trails in the area. I've become a huge fan of the Wasatch Crest Trail, but to do it correctly, you need a shuttle car.

Wondering if there's anyone else that would want to go check out the Bonneville Shoreline trails, Mill Creek, Parley's, or even Park City/Deer Valley, and as far as American Fork area.

There's definitely a ton of awesome trails in the area, and are certainly more fun with a group of people.

if you do downhill, we have a good group that goes all the time. Bobsled, I street, draper, etc.

I'm definitely not much of a downhiller, as I have a sub-30# 4" travel XC bike. But it would be fun to go out and giver hell.

count me in to get some. I can generally ride on weekends and afternoons midweek... have a jetta with rack and somehow got three bikes on for a DV shuttle the other evening.
still relatively new here but been to bobsled, crest, one DV ride and draper's rush... want to go to draper downhill and down to check out whatever else.

hit me at eric.lovely@provenenergy.com as I check that all day long.

Thinking about shuttling the Crest trail tomorrow. Park a car or two at the bottom of Mill Creek Canyon, and bringing the bikes up to Guardsman's.

Let me know if anyone's interested. I work til around 3. But may leave early if people are down to ride.

Just to clarify, in order to ride the crest "correctly" you would need to NOT use a shuttle car.

What's your correct way to ride it? I may be willing to try that.

Any route you want to take up from downtown pc, I think the trail that ends up hitting the crest is Steps, then ride the crest over to the canyons where ambush is probably the best way down. Then if you don't want to ride road back to town there is a bus that comes every like 20 minutes from the 7 11 at the canyons. Not an easy ride at all, not saying you are a bitch if you shuttle it I am down with shuttling for sure, but that is definitely the most bad ass way to ride the crest.

I've actually been meaning to do that loop, I just haven't had time time/motivation to do it all. I wanted to start at Scott's Pass (bottom of Puke Hill), ride up the crest to mid-mountain. Take mid-mountain (lunch at Red Pine maybe?) back to Spiro. And then climb Spiro back up to Crest. Hopefully one of these Saturday's I get motivated.

I'm trying to get a GoPro within the next few days and make a short edit on Bobsled for fun.

I would be super down to hit it a few times.

Do you have all the speed down for the jumps and drops? I want to have someone to follow into the jumps to dial speed.
