Legacy Annual Great Bicycle Ride Across Utah
About the Tour
Join us for one of 3 options that take place between August 26th and Septeber 4th in 2010. Considered by many to be "the most scenic bike ride in the world," you'll enjoy 2 national parks and an amazing state park on the 3-day ride, or 3 more national parks along with 3 more incredible state parks and 2 national monuments while passing through 4 national forests on the 7-day ride, or all of this and more on the 10-day ride. New last year and back by popular demand, there will be river ride options, mountain bike options while in Moab, the world's mountain bike headquarters, and very special scenic hikes along the way.
The 3-day ride can be easy or more difficult depending on the options you choose. The 7-day ride averages under 60 miles and has a good climb on Wednesday in the middle of the ride and again on Saturday at the end of the ride. We offer good sag support for those who get tired and need a break on those days and throughout the ride. In fact, we have sag options each day over the toughest part of the ride that day. If you don't quite make all of it without sagging this year you will just have to come back again soon. There are so many options and so much to see on this route that you will probably want to come back again soon anyway.
Depending on the many options available to you, you will ride between 124 miles and 206 miles during the 3-day ride. You will average about 56 miles a day on the 7-day ride and the longest day is about 82 miles, if you include the 25 mile loop to Goblin Valley State Park (one of the 5 most unique state parks in the nation). Even there you can choose to shuttle into the park and leave your bikes with our rest stop crew at the beginning of the loop. While this ride is not for beginners, if you doubt your ability, you can do the easier 3-day option and come back for the rest next year. But chances are you can do the entire ride with our help and sag options. If you do a couple of century rides and regular training during the summer, you should be fine. Don't miss this scenic smorgasbord. YOU WILL LOVE IT!
