In light of the news of a cyclist being killed by a driver in #Toronto yesterday and another cyclist sustaining life threatening injuries from a driver, here's an article on that discusses how drivers can take a pro-active role in keeping everyone on the road safe.

It doesn't have to be an us-vs-them dynamic. All it takes is #empathy, #awareness of ourselves and our surroundings, #communication and #kindness.

Finally we are entering infamous . Railroad or white water raft are the only possible ways to access this rugged canyon, lined with sheer, 3000 foot granite cliffs. The river drops 300 feet in the space of just 3 miles, creating a series of Class IV and V rapids.

You can see why the railroad had a hell of a time building this section. You'd better read about it:

Antelope Island harbor on the Great Salt Lake. This used to be full of water and boats, as harbors usually are. Now the water is so far back you can barely see it in the far corner of this photo. This year the lake hit another record low level.

Few more photos from our Great Salt Lake Bicycle Adventure. I will amend the previous Pro Tip:

Do not go after weeks of rain UNLESS you want to see a series of amazing reflections in the shallow pools and mudflats created by such rain showers. All the way across - 7 miles worth.

FYI the reflecting pools you see here are all less than an inch or so deep - many less than 1/2 or 1/4 inch. It's a thin, thin sheet of water on a very, very flat lake bed.

You won't see this when conditions are drier!
