On December 30th the weather was very nice,
perfect for a bike ride. Why not take a ride along the Jordan River going north
to Redwood Road where the two trails Legacy and Jordan join.
What I found was the river now has a new steel bridge that
crosses the river and joins legacy. To access the bridge you cross Redwood Road going west , then turn north following the new trail to the bridge with a final turn to the left.
Continuing north on the legacy trail you find a nicely paved trail with unfinished
sides of the trail, about two thirds of the way north on the paved trail you
find the starting of a plank bridge that goes across the water area that's yet
unfinished but from the photo I have enclosed looks to be not too far from
being done.
With the warm weather we've been having I would not be
surprised to see this done in the next month or so providing the program is on track
and no overruns have been incurred.
Once this project is completed the ride from the north end
of Farmington to the South in the Salt Lake Valley at Gardner Village should be
one of the great scenic rides of the Valley. Add in the vision of being able to
ride from Saratoga Springs North to Farmington station and then take the rail trail
from there north into the areas of Syracuse and Ogden.
No excuses now anyone that wants to ride the trail can find
an access point along the way, choosing a ride as far or as short as they like
exiting the trail at any one of the locations for rest stops and shopping
opportunities.
I look forward to riding the trail again when the weather
is a little bit better hopefully running into some of the riders that I've
seen over the past years and enjoying a conversation with each of them,
I always welcome conversation so if you see me out there give a shout I would love to chat.
