Advocacy Utah’s Number 5 Friendly State Ranking – An Assessment and the Way Forward Overall Points Utah’s points increased from to 53.7 in 2014 to 54.3 in 2015. It is first necessary to acknowledge that these rankings are relative. The application for the Bicycle Friendly State rank- ing is not a static document. Each year changes are made to indicate advancements in each of the five areas of assessment. One of the most notable changes in the 2015 applica- tion was the increase in questions relating to eBikes and associated eBike legislation.

The overall ranking serves as both a benchmark to recognize bicycle related advancements, but also as a roadmap to become more bicycle friendly. An increase in points and Projects like Salt Lake City's protected bikeway on 300 South help set the ranking are both a good indicator of trend to make Utah a more bike friendly state.

When we exercise, we dissipate heat energy by producing sweat. As sweat evapo- rates off the skin, it cools us down. So, the hotter it is outside and the harder we workout, the more sweat we produce. Dehydration can cause muscle cramps, premature fatigue, increased recovery time, increased blood pressure and cardiovascular stress, and raises the risk of heat ill- ness such as heat exhaustion and the more dangerous heat stroke. On the other hand, you can over-hydrate/ under-electrolyte, also known as hyponatremia. This means that your liquids need more sodium and potas- sium, which are used for muscle contraction. It’s basically a different form of “bonking.” When severe, it can lead to convulsions, pulmonary edema, respiratory failure, and - diac arrest. Thus, it is important as athletes that we know exactly when, what, and how much to drink dur- ing exercise so that we get adequate hydration and our muscles can work to their full potential, utilize the fluids, and not cramp or turn into the consistency of beef jerky! Dehydration that exceeds 2 per- cent body weight loss harms exercise performance, so athletes are advised to begin exercise well hydrated, min- imize dehydration during exercise, and replace fluid losses after training and competition. Not only do we need to replenish lost fluid and elec- trolytes, but carbohydrates as well. For all of these reasons, we need sport drinks. As stated in our previ- ous nutrition articles, supplements are designed to get us what we need beyond general nutrition because of the extra demands of training and competition. So, we must supple- ment our water with electrolytes and calories (carbohydrates) in order to stay on top of our performance on the bike. The standard protocol for hydra- tion and supplementation is as fol- lows: for short rides (<60 minutes) of low to moderate intensity, water is adequate, as long as you go into the workout well hydrated. During moderate intensity cycling (60-90 minutes), 1-2 bottles with sport drink are needed.

Last week while we were out rid- ing out new mountain bike tandem. I heard a jingling sound coming from the rear of the bike. I asked my wife if she could tell what it was and she thought it must be something in our tool bag. Well our tool bag is not in the rear so after I heard it again I decided that we needed to stop and find out what it was. As it turns out, the five bolts of the granny chainring were all about to fall out. No problem I thought, with my trusty multi-tool, I’ll just tighten those suckers up right quick! Fortunately this time I was prepared. I had a tool and all my chainring bolts. This has not always been the case. There’s been broken derailleurs, broken spokes, snapped cables and busted chains. I once gave a stranger one of my two tubes only to have three flats later on. It’s easier to be prepared if we know what we need. What do we need to be prepared? I like to think of packing my repair kit in terms of levels of incon- venience. The more inconvenient it is to break down the more stuff I should bring. For example, during a quick road ride up Emigration Canyon or a single speed loop of the Shoreline Trail, something more than a flat tire won’t be that big of a deal. However, a problem on the Whole Enchilada in Moab or a weekday Morgan Loop could leave a rider walking for a long ways. If, like me, you don’t want to carry more than is necessary, bicycle repair kits can be broken down into categories.

He gave me the thumbs up when he passed. I had been trained well. Bursting with confidence, I faced each succeeding day knowing that I had the right stuff to be a good course marshal. I had passed the crit- ical scrutiny of my son. Larry and Pauline instilled in us that we needed to do the best job possible. I can say that by the end of the race, we were proud of our efforts. It was also nice to hear compliments and recognition of our team’s work from our mar- shal supervisors, too.

If You Go: Beatty is located 100 Miles north- west of the Las Vegas Strip at the cross roads of NV Hwy 95 and State Route 374, just 8 miles from the Nevada entrance to Death Valley National Park. The town sits at an elevation of 3320 and has a current population of around 1000 people. The climate in Beatty is mild, with a long riding season (September – June). There are six hotels and one casino in the town. The El Portal Motel boosts itself as being mountain bike friendly and has plans to install a bike wash facility. There are also plenty of eats as well: find morning expresso at Gema’s Café, post ride burritos and beer at Mama Sara’s Mexican Restaurant, or a big plate of lasagna at KC’s Outpost. The 47 miles of trail are open full time to the public now and the park- ing on the Spicer Ranch is open to the public as well. The Trail Head for all Spicer Ranch and Transvaal trails is on the Spicer Ranch. Travel north from the town of Beatty approxi- mately 7 miles to mile marker 66.5 at Boiling Pot road. Turn right and follow the signs to the public park- ing area. Restrooms and trail maps provided.

Spicer Ranch Trails There are 4 distinct trails com- pleted at the Spicer Ranch. 1. Spicer Ranch Trail – 2.5 Miles. This is a rolling trail of moderate difficulty that travels past ponds and active quarries. You will travel to the eastern most reaches of the Ranch before looping back around South Pond and returning to the trail head. You can reach the Southpond Mountain Trail from this route. 2. STORM Trail – .75 Miles. This easy route travels along a lush green meadow with a natural seep where you may hear toads and see other wild life. It is quite a treat to see green grass and water in a desert environment. You can access the Spicer Ranch Trail and Dynamite Trail for this route. 3. Southpond Mountain Trail – 1 Mile.
