The Mike's Bike Shop club is planing Sunday rides for this Sunday, April 14th. Everyone is invited to do one (the first or the second) or two loops. Meeting place is at MacDonalds in Magnetic Hill. First at 8:00, out Indian mtn, over to Irishtown, and back Ammon/Front Mountain. That should put as at MacDonalds at 10:00. Second loop out Homestead rd, to Lower Mtn rd, Up Salisbury Rd to Upper Mtn Rd, then back in the homestead. That one takes about 1:30.

Le club cycliste Mike's Bike Shop organise une sortie du dimanche pour le 14 avril. Tout le monde y est invité à faire une boucle (la première ou la seconde) ou les deux boucles. Le lieu de rencontre est au MacDonalds de Magnetic Hill. Premièrement, à 8 h, la route passera sur Indian mtn, Irishtown, et de retour sur Ammon/Front Mountain. Les coureurs devraient donc être de retour au MacDonals vers 10 h pour la seconde boucle qui sera Homestead rd, Lower Mtn rd, Salisbury Rd et Upper Mtn Rd, de retour sur Homestead. Cette boucle devrait prendre 1h30.
