The Wall Street Journal did an article on Flow trails and the advantages and need for them. Most of the article was written about a couple of areas with multiple flow trails such as Lake Tahoe and Sun Valley Idaho. We didn't get mentioned in the article, but in the map included in the article, they listed 11 trails throughout the country and the Rush Trail in Draper, UT made the list!
It is really great to get some national exposure for the trail system out our back door.
For an update the 3rd phase is just about ready to open, they are completing work
last 200-300 feet of trail. (Then we need rain, and lots of riders to compact it) Phase 4 is on the list to get done at the end of the season, so we could be riding all the way to the Silica Pit by next spring!
Also, the bike park around the proposed Velodrome adjacent to the equestrian center has received funding (the bike park but not the velodrome yet) We should be building a bike pump track and a bike skills area (with man made stunts, etc) in the near future. Very nice to have the backing of the city for these projects. We are on track to become a huge biking destination for all disciplines of cycling.
