A beautiful bike for the Meridian Riders

I went and visited the Boise/Meridian area of Idaho the last couple of days, what a pleasure! On Wednesday night as part of Boise Bike Week (great idea Boise!) I participated in a 20 mile women only ride put on by our sponsor, Meridian Cycles. The Idaho ladies are a delight to ride with! They take their hand signals and safety seriously, and are welcoming and chatty, even with an ‘outsider’. The route we took piggy backed much of the Goldilocks route, and it was beautiful. Open fields, big red barns, horses, and cows, and sheep (oh my!) it was a wonderful ride. I didn’t know in Idaho you can treat stop signs and stop lights as a yield (correction: stop sign as a yield, stop light as a 4-way stop). I still think you should stop (safety first!), but on those stupid lights that will never change for a bicycle, it sure came in handy!
I stopped in Meridian Cycles on the way out of town, and with very little arm twisting, I talked Mr. Meridian Cycles (Paul McKenna) into giving this incredible Felt Cruiser, named Claire, away to a participant in our Goldilocks Idaho Event! Every registered rider is entered into the drawing that will take place at the end of the event. Thanks for having me Idaho, I think I am in love!
Minor Adjustments to Route

Unfortunately with the warmer weather construction is also popping up everywhere. We still have a couple sections you will need to navigate, but they are brief and we are having the streets cleaned of gravel and debris. SR-73 (Cedar Fort Road) will be impassible by bike on Saturday. We have re-routed you to Pony Express Parkway. It is a great road, with a marked bike lane, but a bugger of a hill. It may be as bad as the hill on SR-73, but it is shorter and steeper. You can do it! In fact, for most of you it will be no problem at all.
Take a look if you are interested.
Where to park? When to arrive? Bathrooms!?

Please enter Butterfield Park on the West side of the Park, off of 6400 West. It is the Rodeo Ground entrance for Butterfield Park and there is plenty of parking there. We will have gentlemen there to guide you to your parking spot. Please don’t use the entrance off of Butterfield Park Way. The riders will be leaving from that entrance, and we need to leave parking in the main lots for Baseball and other activities at the park that day.
You will walk to the BIG pavilion. You will pass bathrooms on the way to the pavilion that are used for the rodeo grounds. Please feel free to use them, but we do have PLENTY of bathrooms at the pavilion. Last year we developed a line at the rodeo bathrooms because ladies were unaware of the bathroom facilities at the pavilion. The pavilion will be the staging area for all of Goldilocks, so don’t hang out in the parking lot… come on it! We will have packet pickup (for those who haven’t yet), shopping, a photobooth, music, and gatorade and snacks to fill your pockets before you head out.
No matter your start time, please try to arrive before 7:00 am if possible. After 7:00 am the roads will be a bit crowded with cyclists… and maneuvering around may be slow and tricky, but possible.

We are sorry you couldn’t make it… but glad someone else has had a chance to ride with us on May 7th! The transfer of your registration goes something like this…
- The buyer will pick up the packet (including the size of t-shirt ordered by the seller) at the Packet Pickup Party.
- Please notify the Packet Pickup Person
that you bought someone’s registration. You will need to sign your own waiver. - Also, please state what mileage you intend to ride (it does not matter what the seller registered for) so we can get you the appropriate map and wrist band.
If you have any additional questions please contact Dani at 801-635-9422 or dani@goldilocksride.com.

One of our sponsors for the Herriman Goldilocks Ride is Utah Bicycle Lawyers aka The Christensen Law Firm. First the bad news… Every year 52,000 bicyclists are injured in traffic accidents and on average 716 of that number are killed. Many bicyclists have no idea what their rights or options are after they’ve been involved in an accident. The Christensen Law Firm specializes in protecting the rights of cyclists. Their clients have peace of mind because they know they will treated with compassion and respect while delivering excellent results.
The good news… The Christensen Law Firm is giving away their free book, The Utah Bicycle Accident Handbook to everyone who asks for it. The best news… when you ask for your copy of their free book, you will be entered to win this $600 Electra Jenny Cruiser! So follow the link, request a book (that hopefully you will never EVER need), and in the section where it says, “How did you hear about us” write Goldilocks. That’s it, you are entered into the raffle! The winner will be announced two weeks after the bike ride and they will contact you via the information you fill out to receive your free book.
Ummm… if you are keeping track, yes! That is THREE bikes Goldilocks is giving away to is riders in Herriman this year!
