I am a PhD student at the University
of Arizona conducting research on cycling and cycling tours. As part of my
dissertation, I am developing a way to categorize the difficulty level of given
paths based on their length and changes in elevation.
I am contacting Salt Lake City
Cycling because it would be extremely helpful and informative to have avid
cyclists rate the level of difficulty of paths online, if you would be willing
to give club members the opportunity to contribute their knowledge and
understanding of path difficulty.
Please let me know if you would be willing to share the
paths with your members. If you have questions about the research, please
feel free to reach me by email or phone at (708)
305-3642.
Thank you for your
consideration.
