Sunday I took a ride along the Parkway. You can now go under SR201, just as you exit the underpass going south there is a pump that is sending water over the trail, a lot of water and you will get wet when it hits the bike tires. Continuing south 3300 south underpass is still flooded. North of 3900 south is still flooded, enough that there are minnows swimming along the trail.
Just south of 3900 south the trail still is flooded, water flows are high and the river is outside of its banks in many places.
I diverted off the trail up into Murray Park and then back to the trail around 5300 south. From here to Midvale the trail is fine. A few blocks north 7800 south they have added a new access trail that goes west into a housing area, this is a switchback section and is a pretty good climb, and it does give you a nice view of the area east of the trail and the construction. Looking at my GPS files its slightly south of 7200 south. Next time out I will explore just where it goes.
I try to make a lap around Willow pond in Murray, not many out today; pretty warm and I would bet that it’s been some time since they stocked it.
Good news was that I managed 36 miles without a Goathead, saw some new places and burned 2400 calories!
I have included a JPG of my tracks on this ride.
