Toned legs and lungs; beautiful scenery; a healthier you. If these aren’t reason enough to become a bike commuter, how about the high price of gas, air quality alerts, and limits to our natural resources? In this class, we’ll look at perceptions that surround bike commuting (both good and bad), then get down to practicalities: commute clothing; making your bike commute friendly; carrying your stuff; roads, routes, and paths; rules of the road/safety; storing/parking your bike; and making yourself presentable when you arrive. We’ll also cover emergency kits and repairs, conflicts with drivers and other road users, and first aid for common bike injuries. We’re lucky: Salt Lake City has a fabulous network of bike lanes and an active bike advocacy group. Join the growing crowd of bike commuters!

The Gran Fondo Moab road cycling event will start in Moab and follow the La Sal Mountain Loop Road. The ride will be 60 miles with 5500 feet of climbing. This is one of the most beautiful routes you will ride in any cycling event. Takes place in Moab May 1 & 2.

website: www.granfondomoab.com/

The Gran Fondo Moab will be emulating an old Italian tradition. We will be riding the most spectacular mountain pass in the Manti-La Sals, widely known as the Loop Road. We will start and finish in the beautiful red rocks of Moab, Utah and will climb over 5500 feet in 60 miles.

This cycling event will not be run as a sanctioned race, as a majority of the riders will be participating for the enjoyment of riding a signed route through beautiful scenery with their friends and teammates. That said, as any serious cyclist knows, there is also satisfaction with not only completing an epic ride but with comparing your times with other riders afterward. We will ensure that all riders receive an accurate time and placing for their
efforts. Safety is paramount on this ride, as we will be riding open, narrow, mountain roads.

The Gran Fondo Moab will have MASS start with overall results and results broken up by age groups.  The route will have something for everyone with its steep climbs and rolling hills, flat sections and gorgeous scenery. This will be a cycling event that you will remember. Come join us!

About the La Sal Mountains…
The La Sal Range (or La Sal Mountains) is located in Grand and San Juan counties, near the eastern border of the state of Utah, and rising above the town of Moab. This range is part of the Manti-La Sal National Forest and the southern Rocky Mountains. The maximum elevation is at Mount Peale, reaching 12,721 feet (3,877 m) above sea level. The range contains three clusters of peaks separated by passes. The peaks span a distance of about 18 miles (25 km). The name of the range dates to Spanish times, when the Sierra La Sal (meaning the “Salt Mountains”) were a prominent landmark on the Old Spanish Trail between Santa Fe and Los Angeles.

The La Sal Mountain Loop Road features an amazing variety of canyon country scenery. The 60-mile long route follows the Colorado River for a while, then it heads to the La Sal Mountains through beautiful Castle Valley. The route through La Sals provides incredible views of the 12,000+ foot peaks and the red rock valleys far below. Finishing the loop takes one back to Moab via Spanish Valley Drive.
