Sidebar: On a combo ride. I set this ride up in combination with the 4 days of Moab ride. I realize that some of you would like to combine these two ride and make a weeks vacation riding in Utah. So I purposely arranged the rides back to back. I have a transition plan and ride plan to complete the week. Looks like This: Wednesday we will ride the San Rafael Swell and transition to Ridgefield UT. Then Thursday we will ride outside of Ceder City and move to St George. I supply the rides. How Fun!

Ride Maps Below
I put these ride maps on the web page because I know a few of you love looking at the ride detail and dreaming about the ride. At first glance these maps do not look so impressive, but they are way cool. If you click the Earth or Satellite tab and start zooming in, you can see the ride in incredible detail. I have spent a ton of hours sorting through the details of the ride for each day, so for those of you that enjoy this sort of thing, well enjoy!
Legend:
The Red lines are Harder routes
The Blue lines are main routes
The Green lines are a mix of easy and paved routes
How does the ride navigation work?
This is a self-led GPS ride; all riding is on your own. You are responsible for your own riding. You will be given a GPS map file and instructions on how to use your Garmin GPS unit. People will hook up in small groups of less than 6 riders and tend to ride together. You are not encouraged to ride alone. You are responsible for your own riding and yourself. (see my ride Navigation Video)
Note from me, gpsKevin
My goal for this ride is simple, great riding, so you can count on great routes and places to ride.
But in addition: The ride is about discovering new places, meeting new friends, seeing new parts of southern Utah.
Thanks
