The Event
For this years ride, we wanted to end at the newly completed Skippers Bay Trailhead at the Provo River Delta, which means everyone will ride from north to south. There are four different starting locations along the 50 mile route between Tracy Aviary's Nature Center at Pia Okwai (whichi is where the event ended last year) and Skippers Bay. The starting locations will also serve at rest stops along the route. For those who desire a more challenging experience, you can opt to do a 100 mile ride from Ogdens High Adventure Park. The northern 50 miles will be unsupported, so plan accordingly.
