This line is the definition of urban cruise. With zero elevation gain or loss, it's a sunday-stroll-slow-stroke through the flat valley floor. It links Central City to Liberty Wells, dipping into South Salt Lake, back through Ball Park to Granary into Glendale and back... ending at Normal Ice Cream, of course. Balancing SLC's bike infrastructure with some bobs, weaves, parking lots and sneak-throughs, this line is the perfect blend of exploration and social. Points of interest (in order): Loki Coffee, Liberty Park, Hawthorne Elementary, Alchemy Coffee, Secret Sidewalk, Whittier Elementary, SLCC South City Campus, Roha Brewery, Smith's Ballpark, 1300S Trax Station, 300W bike path, 9-Line Bike Park, Glow SLC Urban Bathhouse, International Peace Gardens, Jordan Park Skate Park, Jordan River Trail, Three Creeks Confluence, Salt Lake Bike Collective, State Street Tacos, TF Brewery, Blue Copper Coffee, and Normal Ice Cream. Ideal bike: the one you have. Surfaces: concrete (streets, sidewalks, parking lots) Difficulty: easy (green circle) Ideal group size: 1 - 30 riders Time: ride takes roughly 1.5 hours at a social pace. Ideal pace: leisurely, social, party, explorational, cruisey. Traffic: low, mellow. Always ride right, big, and defensively. Best time of day to ride: in the mornings or evening's when traffic is slower. Best season: year round. Although shoulder season's are great due to good temperatures, and winter is great because the line is dry year round. Downsides: there are a couple semi-busy intersection crossings, and Normal Ice Cream closes at 10pm :( Upsides: family friendly, explorational, no hills, fun, social, and some secret nooks and crannies. Bonus: on the edges of the line, look for features (drops, jumps, whoopdies, skinnies, sneak throughs, etc) and feel free to improvise. All of town is a flowfactory mecca! Double bonus: start the ride with coffee, end the ride with a beer from TF or ice cream from Normal. Encouragement: find creativity in your line and improvise along the way. Be open to what you see along the way, you never know what town will provide!
