Cycle Salt Lake Century 2004 Spring is here and for most of us it is time to climb on the bike and start thinking of the cycling season, getting in shape and make plans for the many rides available to us this summer. For eighteen years now, the touring season's first major event in Northern Utah is the Cycle Salt Lake Century. This has been organized under several names in the past such as: American Investment Bank (AIB) Century, Mayor's Century Ride and the L. H. Miller Cycle Salt Lake Century, and this year as the Cycle Salt Lake Century. Offering three mileage-options of 31, 67 or 100 miles over a mostly flat course over rural roads, it has something for everyone at every level of cycling. The ride begins at the State Fairgrounds in Salt Lake City and travels to Antelope Island and back. Over the years the Cycle Salt Lake Century has raised thousands of dollars for a variety of charities and organizations throughout the state. This year donations will be made to: Friends of Antelope Island, the Salt Lake City Mayor's Bicycle Advisory Committee, Ogden One Cycling Club, and UTA Rideshare. In 2003, 1200 riders participated in the Cycle Salt Lake Century making it one of Utah's largest single day recreational bicycle events. This year's century is on May 15, 2004 and is the closing event of Cycle Salt Lake Week 2004. For further information contact: Jon R. Smith at (801) 596-8430 or [email protected].
