Registration Open for the 2017 Utah

Bike Summit March 14, 2017 8:00 a.m.- 3:30p.m.

REGISTER AT WWW.BIKEUTAH.ORG Early Registration Rates Through February 3rdBike Utah

Student Members - $50

Bike Utah Members - $80 submitted by Laurie Googasian

Government Employees/Bicycle Industry - $80

Non-Members - $90

The Utah Bike Summit is the statewide bicycle conference. The summit brings together everyday riders,

bicycle and trail advocates, representatives from Utah’s bicycle industry, planners, engineers,

representatives from Utah’s tourism industry and health fields, and local and state government officials in

order to make Utah more bicycle friendly. Regardless of your interest in bicycling (transportation,

recreation, road, mountain, commuter), the Utah Bike Summit is for you and all are encouraged to attend.

Here is a quick overview of some of the great speakers who will be at this year's summit:

This year's keynote speaker is Mike Lydon who is an expert on active transportation demonstration and pilot projects, also known as tactical urbanism. These types of projects help communities experience the benefits of new bicycle infrastructure by being able to try it out. Mike will discuss how communities can implement these projects to build public support for permanent installations.

Greg Bell, President and CEO of the Utah Hospital Association as well as past Lieutenant Governor of Utah, will explore the nexus of health, physical activity, and quality of life.

Carlos Braceras, UDOT's Executive Director, will be giving an update on all of the initiatives being undertaken at the Utah Department of Transportation. His update will be followed by regional breakout sessions where summit attendees can give input on UDOT plans and projects.

Nicole Iroz-Elardo from Urban Design 4 Health in Portland, Oregon will present the results from Utah's Active Transportation Benefits Study. This study identifies the economic, environmental, and health benefits that bicycling and walking bring to the State of Utah. The results from this study will serve as justification for further investment in active transportation infrastructure

Lynette Carpiet, Editor-in-Chief of Bicycle Retailer and Industry News, and Alex Logemann, State + Local Policy Analyst for PeopleForBikes, will be on two panels addressing bicycle industry trends and strategies for growing all types of bicycling.

Provo Mayor John Curtis and Cameron Diehl, Director of Government Relations for the Utah League of Cities and Towns, will be presenting a session about how to speak to elected officials about bicycling. There will also be sessions focused on: using crowd-sourcing to inform active transportation efforts; resources for rural communities to develop active transportation networks; and how to get more mountain bike trails built more quickly. The Utah Bike Summit is an all-day event and registration includes all sessions, networking opportunities, and catered lunch. Thank you to this year's sponsors: TravelWise, Bonneville Cycling Club, Salt Lake County Bicycle Advisory Committee, SOAR Communications, UTA, Visit Salt Lake, Mercury Wheels, Wasatch Front Regional Council, Mountainland Association of Governments, Staker Parson, Alta Planning + Design, Clif Bar, Cycling Utah, and the Ogden Bicycle Collective.

CYCLISTS OR NOT????? By Don Williams

How do you remind yourself that you are a cyclist? The

dregs of winter drag on – deadly smog, little sunshine, slick

streets, and a TINY Sunny warm window not more than 7.5

minutes where humans could actually be outside – happens

only 1 day per week.

There is a solution. Wear Bike Clothing. Every Day. Find a way.

Make it a vest or jacket or base layer, make it socks. Make it a

reminder that in less than 8 weeks there is an extra hour after work, in less than 3

weeks – there is the late winter thaw, it has happened every winter for the last 19

in SLC, followed by some bitter cold before winter finally breaks.

BE READY!

Make sure your Riding layers are ready – Stacked in the order they go on your

body. One day soon, a warm(er) day will beckon at a moment's notice – and you

will need to be ready. Have all options ready – heavy booties, wind booties or toe

warmers, socks thick or thin, Tights – winter weight or mid-weight, layers, jerseys,

jackets and so on. It shouldn’t take 2.5 hours to dress for a 20-mile bike ride. At

rides end, make a mental note – what is soaking wet? What isn’t? and next time

lighten that layer, or heavy it up if that item came off frozen and icy.

Soon, dressing will get simpler – and come mid-July – you can look back in

fond remembrance of days much less than 90 degrees.

The League of American Bicyclists is leading the movement to create a

Bicycle Friendly America for everyone. As leaders, our commitment is to listen

and learn, define standards and share best practices to engage diverse

communities and build

a powerful, unified voice for change.

Ride 100 Miles a Week in 2017 With the right strategies, any cyclist can achieve this impressive cycling goal

BY SELENE YEAGER( January 11, 2017 Bicycling Magazine) submitted by Don Williams

‘Tis the season for making resolutions and setting cycling goals. A simple one we’d suggest: Ride 100 miles each week.

Why? For one, it sounds pretty badass when you tell people you bang out 100 miles on your bike every week. But it also has concrete health benefits.

If you pedal at a pace of about 15 mph, you’ll be on your bike for about an hour a day, which is exactly the amount of exercise you need to counteract

the ill effects of sitting time if you have a sedentary job; stave off creeping weight gain, and reduce your risk for myriad chronic conditions such as

heart disease, diabetes, and even cancer. Plus, it’s totally doable for even the busiest bike riders. Here’s how to get it done in the New Year.

Track Yourself

Training apps like Strava not only make it a snap to track your mileage progress, but also you can see yourself getting fitter, which will motivate you

to keep at it. “Tracking my rides with Garmin and Strava play an important role in motivating me,” says Samer Eid, who works as the director of

Corporate Development at Merck in Kenilworth, New Jersey and who nailed a goal to hit 10,000 miles in 2016. “When I first started ramping up my

mileage, I could watch my fitness improve almost weekly,” he says.

Rise and Ride For many nine-to-fivers, the morning is prime, uninterrupted riding time.

“I’m not a morning person by nature, but I’ve found that if I get up early, I can easily get in twenty to thirty miles before I go to work; so I’m up at 6

a.m. and on the bike by 6:30,” says Elisabeth Reinkordt, digital communications manager at University of Pennsylvania, who races for the

Philadelphia women’s team Laser Cats and rides at least 10 hours or 100

miles each week. “Traffic is better early as well, and it’s not like I have more energy after work. In fact, I’m usually pretty tired and just want to go home

and crack a beer!” As a bonus, riding in the morning makes you feel really good throughout the rest of the day, says Eid, who also puts

in most of his miles in the morning. “Usually if it doesn’t happen in the a.m., it ain’t gonna happen later in the day,”

he says.

Set Yourself Up to Succeed

Nothing sidelines regular riding like poor preparation, especially if you’re trying to ride in the morning: if you can’t find your gloves and need to

pump your tires and lube your chain and don’t know where you’re going, you’re going to stay in bed (or at your desk or on the sofa if it’s later in

the day). “I always prepare my clothing and set up my bike the night before,” says Eid. “I also would plan and map every ride the night before. It

helped me commit to riding the next morning.”

Get Right to It When it’s your designated ride time, go ride. Don’t open Facebook,

Snapchat, Twitter, Instagram, or email even for “just a moment,” says Eid, who also skips breakfast to save time if he’s riding less than 25 miles in the

morning. “I don’t look at social media or emails or anything because it gives me time to ride longer,” he says. If you think that cutting down your social

media time for more riding sounds like an insignificant trade-off consider

that a recent survey found that Americans spend about 3 hours a day on social media. That could be 45 miles right there.

Use Your Bike for Transportation Whenever Possible

Bike commuting to work and running other errands on your bike can help you rack up miles while you multi-task. “I used to not count my commutes

as part of my weekly mileage, but then I realized that all those little trips of 6 miles to work and back really add up,” says Reinkordt, who often

commutes straight to work from her morning ride. “My office cabinets and drawers are full of work clothes,” she says. “One desk is full of work clothes

and a bathroom kit. The other is full of shoes. I also arranged my cubical to she was a little nervous about how all this would fly with her co-workers,

boss, and the facilities staff when she started out. “I made sure I was very friendly with the facilities guys and then I just started riding to work and

wheeling everything in. Instead of looking at me like I was weird, everyone

was really very nice and interested in what I was doing. Now the Dean at the school asks about my racing.”

Make Riding A Non-Negotiable You wouldn’t blow off your work obligations. Don’t blow off your obligations

to yourself either, says Eid. “My business and cycling schedule are equally important to me. If I can reschedule a business meeting to accommodate

my cycling, I will do it as long as there is no impact on deliverables or project timelines,” he says. If you have the flexibility to work from home

some days that also makes it easier to fit in a midday ride because you can roll when it fits in your schedule rather than worrying about making it

happen during the designated corporate lunch hour. Include Your Family in Your Plans

Communication is key to meet consistent riding goals when you have

kids and other people at home counting on you. Share your goals and include your family in your plans. If you want to start riding in the

morning, offer to take care of evening child and household responsibilities to give your partner a break. Ride to and/or during your kid’s sports practices

and/or extracurricular activities. Your family will be more likely to help you reach your cycling goals if you plan your rides in ways that are minimally

disruptive to the household routine. Do the Math and Plan Accordingly

Everyone’s schedule is different. Heck, your schedule may even be different week to week. So, it’s important to look at the time you have available and

plan accordingly. One week it may be easier to hit your hundred by doing shorter 14 to 15 mile dawn patrol rides a day (or maybe even 7 to 8 in the

morning and 7 to 8 in the evening). Other weeks it may work better to do three 33 to 34 mile rides. Or you may find that you get the lion’s share of

your mileage on the weekends. In the end all that matters is you find the

scheduling system that works for you. Allow for Emergency Roll Overs

Generally speaking, miles don’t roll over. So if you ride 200 miles this week, you can’t nudge half of them into the following week and call it good.

Likewise, you can’t do 80 this week and 120 the next. That said, life happens. Allow yourself one or two emergency roll over weeks a year for

those times when you may be legitimately unable to ride due to illness, travel or other unforeseen circumstances.
