If you have a favorite ride post something about that ride. I have many Garmin tracks. Riding the Legacy, Jordan, Bonneville shoreline, Antelope Island, Gosseberry Mesa, as seen in the photo above, Saltair, MS 150, Salt Lake Bike Marathon just to name a few.
Many of my rides are 1 1/2 hours plus and ranging from 15 to 25 for the mountain bike for parkway routes. Shoreline 8-10 miles.
Road bike times are longer with mileages 35-60 once I get into the season.
Riding for me is not just excersise, so no time contstraints when ever possible, most of the time.

Jordan River parkway

Just back from a ride along the parkway, hitting the trail going south @ Raging Waters. Took the loop down into Decker Lake once around and back up to the trail. Decker Lake is about 1.2 miles around.
Really nice out 53F along the most of the trail, turned around at Gardner Village and as expected the underpass for the trail is flooded, over 3+ feet.

I took a couple of river readings, average was 5.4 MPH.  I looked for a sign in the section where the scouts went through and did not see anything, there is a sign out in Murray that tells you to get out I did not see any others where you expect them.

On the return I took the eastern side of the river just north of Ox Bow jail, this section has some gravel and the maintenance is pretty bad, South Salt Lake has that side of the river to 21st south. As a result the goat head vines are still in place. South of John Workmen park on the west side is flowering new goat head plants FYI.
Had great cardio, burned up 1900+ calories and feel good.
