Utah Windriders Association

There will be some frigid, north riding at UL today. Sub freezing air temps, snow squalls, and super cold water will not make it less than pleasant - honestly you would have to be crazy to ride the water today. Burmester will have wind in the low teens with possible snow squalls turning the surface into mud. Not a great day for riding.

Sunday and Monday don't look great for wind, but they there is plenty of snow in the forecast, so let's keep our fingers crossed!
