With the McClelland Trail as the backbone, this mellow line meanders the paved path of poshness that is Sugarhouse. Taking sweet-swoopdies through it's heart, we call this one "Sugar Loop". Your journey begins at Loki, cuts through Liberty, along SLC's nicest neighborhood byway, past Wasatch Brewery, through the pickle ball courts at Fairmont, and lands for a pit stop atop a parking garage at Westminster College. Watch the sunset, toss a friz, heck, get a meditation in. The loop back finds flow with a tasty two percent grade, landing at 9th and 9th and eventually... you guessed it... Normal Ice Cream. Points of interest (in order): Loki Coffee, Liberty Park, Hawthorne Elementary, Sugarhouse Pub, Tea Zante, Fiddlers Elbow, Wasatch Brewery, S-Line, Fairmont Park, Cinemark Movies, De los Muertos, Parley's Creek, Sugarhouse Park, Chic-fil-a, Westminster College, 9th and 9th, 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: moderate. 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, pocket parks, 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 drink anywhere in Sugarhouse or 9th and 9th... 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!
