This was my first bike race. It was a great one to start with! Beautiful ride, perfect temperature, not too challenging. I look forward to coming back next year to beat my time, and maybe even try out one of the longer distances!!!
Sponsor Red Rock Bicycles was very responsive and friendly. The course was well-marked. The rest stops at approximately 26 and 40 miles (55 distance) were well-stocked with water and snacks. The route was rural, scenic, and flat with occasional rolling. The venue, Parawan, is a great little town with adequate parking near the start. The T-shirts and medals had a nice design and quality appearance. The only little complaint is that my husband and I both rode (different distances) and picked up our packets together on Friday. Since the envelopes didn’t have names on them, we discovered on race morning that we didn’t know which bib number was whose! We cleared it up at the Event Tent before my start. I’d definitely do this event again if back into Utah and would recommend it heartily to riders of all levels.
