Stop and Talk Dates. Because the foothills present many challenges to riders (wet roads, canyons curves, sand, and gravel) even seasoned riders may benefit from proven techniques to keep the tires on the road and them off the pavement. We are also hosting 'Stop and Talk' events along many of the foothills' popular roadways. Stop by on Saturday, June 8th from 9 a.m. to noon at the intersection of South Deer Creek Canyon Road and South Turkey Creek Road. Stay tuned for future 'Stop and Talk' dates.
