Some downhill canyon routes for training the quads. A few of the routes could be modified to add/remove mileage as needed. For those courses with two grades listed, there is a notable flat or uphill section somewhere in the middle for at least 1 mile. The Ogden and St. George and Marathons are listed as benchmarks.
