Ride Description

Cache Valley Veloists 
Utah Mountains Casual Cycling Tour 
July 15-17, 2010

This is a three-day recreational, scenic ride over Monte Cristo, the Uintas Mirror Lake Highway then back along Rockport Reservoir, Echo Reservoir, East Canyon Reservoir, and Trappers Loop Road. The route is listed as an “A” ride because of the distance (approximately 238 miles) and elevation change (approximately 11,000 feet) but the “mood” will be more of a “C” ride. (I’m bringing my fishing pole!) 

It is a SELF SUPPORTED ride, so plan accordingly – carry or purchase along the way what you’ll need! 

The first day we will be starting from Huntsville, Utah climbing over Monte Cristo to Woodruff, Utah and then south to Evanston, Wyoming. We reserved a double queen non-smoking room at Motel 6 in Evanston for $50 with laundry and a pool. There are numerous lodging options in Evanston if you prefer something else. Please make your own reservations.

On day two we ride scenic Highway 150 to Kamas, Utah and then a six-mile skip up Highway 35 to Woodland, Utah to spend the second night. Lodging in Kamas is extremely limited. We have reserved the Bunkhouse Cabin with kitchenette and outdoor BBQ at the Woodland Farmhouse Inn Bed and Breakfast in Woodland.  It will sleep 8-10 people in two bedrooms for just $15 per person plus add $7 if you would like breakfast in the morning. If you would like to stay in the Bunkhouse Cabin with us just let me know and I will add you on. If you would like a traditional bed and breakfast room with more privacy and pampering, they have five rooms ranging from $89-$129 a night. Please contact the Woodland Farmhouse directly and soon to make your own reservation for these rooms. They have an outdoor hot tub that should be heavenly after the Mirror Lake Highway ride. 

The last day we ride through Coalville, Henefer, and Morgan, past several reservoirs, the Weber River, and across Trappers Loop back to our start point in Huntsville.
