After being here in the valley for about a year I decided it was time to purchase a new bike and begin riding again. That decision is probably one of the best I have ever made. Biking is a great way to stay in shape and take advantage of the beautiful area while you are here. These are the different ways that I like to ride.
This is one of my favorite dirt trails in the area--Bonneville Shoreline Trail. Just head up Provo Canyon and jump on the trail at Bridal Veil Falls park. The scenery is amazing and the trail is good for experienced riders and rookies alike.
Utah Valley has plenty of road for cyclists who want to ride like Lance Armstrong. For the full experience be sure to get yourself a cycling jersey and shorts--you may turn some heads while getting in shape. Be sure to take advantage of the city and country roads in the area. The city is close but nothing beats riding between the cornfields. Both ways are great to ride.
The Provo River Parkway Trail will take you on a leisurely ride from Utah Lake to Vivian Park in Provo Canyon. Because the trail is paved and flat this is an easy ride and one that is great for the whole family. If you are gonna ride in the summer time be sure to wear sunglasses and keep your mouth closed or you may end up swallowing enough bugs to feed you for a week.
