Out to Saltair and back, Thursday evening and what a nice ride, well other than the bugs. Huge columns along the route in the water areas, of which there are many.
39 miles for me from home and back, I took the long way out and short back, this changes the ride length about 4 miles. Some construction debris along the road in a couple of sections and the concrete section that runs for 1.5 miles, this ends at just south of the transmitter tower, KSL I believe.
Gates on the airport having conflicting times, one side says open from 5:00 am to 10:00 pm, others say 5:30 am to 10:00 pm, should not really affect many.
You can park just east of the gate for the airport on the old North Temple and head out from there, this makes a 21 mile ride round trip that is flat and if the winds are mild its easy in both directions.
I generally ride into the wind I determine this by using the following site, http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/forecast/wxtables/index.php?lat=40.80861223601287&lon=-111.96441650390625&table=custom&duration=1&interval=1
You will want to change settings for your needs, things like interval and duration in days and the actual location. You can enter different information in the window for personalizing the map. I use this map all the time and it has been very good information, just knowing expected conditions in those early and late season rides can make a big difference.
