October 2010 Goal Update

It's a little late in coming, but here is the goal update for October.  Goal for October: Bike 275 miles, run 35 miles, swim 5 km.  Actual stats: Cycled 316.93 miles (thank you, Viva Bike Vegas), ran 27.25 miles, and swam 4.55 km.  Totals so far at the end of October: Biked 2147.59 miles, ran 409.87 miles and swam 105.7 km.  I did some quick calculations and so far in November, I have biked 239.24 mile.  This means I have 613 miles to go to meet my goal... I don't think that will happen... However, I ran 5 miles last weekend which means that I only have 85 miles of running to go to meet my goal.  With 7 weeks left in the year, I would have to run about 12 miles a week which is completely doable.  I think I will shoot for that goal for sure.  Stay tuned for a post about two century rides that I did within a month of each other.  Thanks for reading!

SR-173

Before I start, I have a few things to say. 1: I HATE riding on sidewalks. They are bumpy, they have people on them, they have power poles to dodge, and glass and curbs and signs. Ugh, they are not fun to ride. There is nothing better than smooth asphalt for cruising. 2: There are a lot of very bike friendly roads in Utah... SR-173 is NOT one of those roads... I rode a lot on the sidewalks today. This highway starts at SR-111 just south of Magna about 5400 S. It shoots pretty much straight east. There are some pretty good gradual grades, not overly hilly, but not completely flat. On it's way east, it passes USANA Amphitheatre , West Ridge Golf Course, SR-172 (5600 W), SR-154 (Bangerter), I-215, Taylorsville High School, and SR-68 (Redwood Rd). From 56oo W to Redwood (about 4.5 miles), there is no shoulder and no bike lane, thus the sidewalk. The road continues on and passes the office of a GREAT dentist who happens to by my dentist, and a fan of this blog, Dr. Matthew B

SR-111

We are headed to EC this weekend so K Jo can do another half marathon. She worked this morning and since I didn't really feel like leaving her alone at my parent's house, I did a ride this morning and headed to SR-111. SR-111 starts at SR-48 (New Bingham Higway). It heads slightly north for the first few miles curving to the north west and eventually heads straight north into Magna. Most of it is downhill and it ends at SR-201 after 10.6 miles. Along the way, it passes the junctions for SR-173 (5300 S) and SR-171 (4500 S). Pretty boring, huh? If I had to sum up this ride in one word, it would be disappointing. I started out my ride from my townhouse and headed to 7800 S which eventually turns into New Bingham Highway. When I hit SR-111 I took a picture of the cool end sign, which is different from all the signs I have seen before, and headed North. I was pretty excited about riding this one because I had ridden sections of this road South of SR-48 and it was a lot of fun to r

SR-248

I know, I know it's been like seven months, but it was winter, and I THOUGHT I MIGHT ride some of southern Utah's highways, but K Jo and I started snowboarding and I started training for The Utah Half, and... Anyway here is my latest adventure on Utah's State Highways: SR-248. To sum up the whole ride, here is a picture: I love seeing flags when I ride because they are such great indicators of wind speed and direction. Yeah, that was my day... wind. I am picking up some shifts at Park City Medical Center so Saturday morning (May 22nd) I went there to become acquainted with the lab. I really didn't feel like driving all the way to Park City JUST to see the lab, so I decided to see what state roads were near Park City. Luckily, I found SR-248. I am in the middle of training for the Utah Half , and today I was supposed to ride two hours. How fortuitous that this road is 14.5 miles long with lots of hills meaning out and back would take two hours. The road starts at SR-224
