When I first saw the video, I incorrectly thought it was the hairpin just before the turn onto Big Cottonwood Canyon Road. Instead, it's the other hairpin turn further up a half mile or so (just below the pin on the map given by KSL). On the approach to the turn, it's pretty steep and you can get going fast without much effort. There is also a slight turn just before it, so if you're not expecting it, it could really surprise you if you're going fast enough.Originally posted by Dwight Schr-ute View PostWhen things are at their darkest, it's a brave man that can kick back and party. --Tuck PendletonComment

Tour of Utah received the okay to take the race through Zion NP. As expected, the stretch will be neutralized, the surprise for me was that they'll be starting outside the West gates and going East. Not very many neutral mountain climbs in cycling.

I watched the first stage but they skipped most of the Zions NP part. Hopefully they publish a bunch of pics from it. I also watched stage 2 yesterday and they had this one shot that was absolutely gorgeous. Here's a pic from that shot:Originally posted by Dwight Schr-ute View Post

Great shot."Guitar groups are on their way out, Mr Epstein."
Upon rejecting the Beatles, Dick Rowe told Brian Epstein of the January 1, 1962 audition for Decca, which signed Brian Poole and the Tremeloes instead.Comment

My buddy is a marshal captain for the tour. He started as a marshal 4-5 years ago, and has been a captain for the past 2-3 years. He takes the week off work, they provide room and board and pay him OK on top of that for being there. I'd love to join him and get to see this thing up close, but the last couple of years my schedule just hasn't worked out. Jealous of sights like this that he's seeing every day.Originally posted by Moliere View PostI watched the first stage but they skipped most of the Zions NP part.

My wife and I have watched the daily report on KJZZ, but keep wanting to mute that idiot Steve Brown. Why do they keep dragging him out as a commentator?Comment

I was excited to see that Lachlan Morton won the Tour of Utah. I don't know about many cyclists, but there was an article about Lachlan in Bicycling magazine that I came across recently. I found his and his brother Gus's journey in and out of cycling quite interesting. Their documentary is worth a watch as well.

TJ is in yellow today after winning the very short prologue stage ITT yesterday. Pretty impressive given that he’s one week removed from le tour."Discipleship is not a spectator sport.

You would think that the fact nobody else was sprinting would be a clue that he was a little early. Maybe he thought they were sprinting and he was just extra fast that day. Still a little surprising that someone good enough to race the TOU would make a mistake like that.Originally posted by Dwight Schr-ute View PostComment

I love how he first thought the official was giving him a "you're number one" finger.Originally posted by Moliere View Post
