We studied the best and created a walking environment that deserves an ‘A’

Nearly 10 years ago, Rio Tinto’s Kennecott Utah Copper looked at how to best use post-mining land. It decided to develop it into what we now know as Kennecott Land’s Daybreak in South Jordan. We sharpened our pencils, studied the best sustainable communities in the nation, and designed Daybreak in a way that added to the quality of life for those who would eventually live there. We are proud of what has developed.

When our planners set out to design Daybreak, walkability was at the top of their list. A recent University of Utah study confirmed that community design is influential in the decision for children to walk to school. While only 17% of children in neighboring communities are walking to school, 88% of children in Daybreak have made it a habit.* At Daybreak, schools, shops, open space, and churches are all connected by parks, trails, and tree-lined streets – providing numerous safe walking routes.

Walkability is only part of Rio Tinto’s vision of sustainable development. To read more about the study and to learn more about sustainable development, visit www.kennecottland.com and www.kennecott.com

Cyclocross Utah Cyclocross: What To Expect, How To Get Ready By Ryan Hamilton

Cyclocross, like many other cycling disciplines, is made up of several sets of skills and areas to master. With the need to learn to ride off road, on pavement, draft in a pack, ride technical sections of trail, carry your bike over obstacles, and learn race strategy for each type of scenario cyclocross may in fact require more preparation and learn- ing than the other cycling sports we enjoy.

Some max heart rate intervals can also be added to get the body used to those extreme efforts that are needed during the race. Be sure to allow for recovery between workouts, especially the higher intensity training sessions. Don’t neglect strengthening the body’s core muscles. Cyclocross requires riders to navigate off cam- ber turns, bumpy corners and jump- ing over logs and other objects. Having a strong core will help you maintain balance and speed over the varying terrain that makes up the courses here in Utah. Some exer- cises you may include in your core workouts are: lower back extensions, rows, crunches (or any of the variety of exercises for training abdominal muscles). Many athletes also like to incorporate swim workouts into their routine as the freestyle stroke works the whole body, including the core, very well. It’s a great way to get in a cardio workout while strengthening some much needed muscle groups.

Cyclocross Sager and Small Win UTCX #4 By Ryan Hamilton

Utah Cyclocoss Series: Race #4 Ryan Hamilton Scattered rain show- ers were forecast for Saturday. Many hopeful ‘cross races looked expec- tantly at the clouds on the way to the venue, hoping for some true cyclo- cross weather. Mother nature taunted us by starting a sprinkling of rain halfway through the Men’s C race and continued here and there through the day. The last races of the day, Men’s B, Masters 35+ C and Clydesdale were the only one’s lucky enough to get a little mud on their faces. The Women lined up with a lot of anticipation. The first three Elite Women’s races have had three differ- ent winners. Perennial favorites and up and coming alike took their spots on the front row. When the go sign was given, they shot out determined to be the first to the 180 degree turn. Kris Walker chose correctly by start- ing with an outside line and was able to maintain speed through the turn for the holeshot. The race was on. Race organizer Matt Ohran, determined to keep people on their toes, ran the race in the reverse direction this week and changed the dynamic of many of the course features. The two log barriers were now approached at a sharp angle and the other at the bottom of a hill, Left: Carmen Small topped the Women's A group. Photo: Christopher See.
