Preston commented, “I’m very pleased with the growth and direc- tion of the race. There is a great team in place, everyone is excited and I’m confidant that the race will be great this year and for years to come.” The courses for this year’s race are still tentative, but the stages ten- tatively include a Park City prologue, road races from Lehi to Miller Motorsports Park and Ogden to Snowbasin/Wolf Mountain, a stage in Provo in conjunction with the Freedom Festival on July 4, an individual time trial at Kennecott Land’s new Daybreak community, nearly 17,000 feet of climbing and 114 miles in a Salt Lake City to Snowbird Resort stage, and finishing with a downtown Salt Lake City circuit race that will also include the Freedom Peloton fundraiser citizen ride along the same course. The signature stage from 2006 is being expanded to include even more climbing, starting in Salt Lake City, instead of last year’s departure from Deer Valley, and climbing to Park City, continuing through Midway, Sundance, SunCrest and to the finish in Snowbird. The lengthened course adds several thousand feet of climbing and more than 20 miles to an already legendary day of racing.

Jordan Parkway Enhancements
Salt Lake County is wrapping up a project of placing a bicycle and pedestrian bridge over 3900 South and the Jordan Parkway. Over 5 years of planning went into this project. The project cost was $700,000 — $140,000 from the County and the balance from Federal Transportation Enhancements funds. Once officially open in the spring, it will provide safe access for trail users over the busy roadway. The slopes on both sides are gentle with wide curves making it ideal for all users. Last fall the County with the help of a $19,000 matching grant from State Parks & Recreation paved the one-mile section of trail near 3900 South. The Jordan Parkway is now paved from I-80 all the way to 11500 South. In addition, the County is in the process of removing non-native species and will be replacing them with indigenous species in the spring. Riverton has also been in the process of enhancing their section of the trail which picks up again 1/2 mile south of the above break around 11800 South. Just north of Bangerter Highway, a new wildlife habitat is being engineered along with an uncovering and outlet of some previously un- charted hot springs right along the trail. The Main trailhead for this area is about 1 mile west of the Prison on 14600 South. Photos and more information are available at www.safe-route.org.

Utah bike industry Reynolds Makes Top Quality Carbon Fiber in Utah By Greg Overton
For the latest installment in our ongoing series featuring Utah manu- facturers of cycling equipment, I paid a visit to Reynolds Composites in West Jordan, makers of carbon fiber forks, wheels, handlebars and other components. Reynolds is a subsidiary of MacLean Quality Composites, which manufactures other things such as body panels for the Chevrolet Corvette, the Hans Device used in auto racing to protect drivers from head and neck inju- ries in a collision, and windsurfing masts, to name a few. We’ll stick to bike stuff here. Reynolds Carbon Fiber is made here in West Jordan. Jonathan Geran is MacLean-Fogg purchased Quality Reynolds' director of sales and marketing. Photo: Greg Overton.
