This is a comprehensive schedule of bicycle events and competitions for the 2010 season in Moab, Utah. Information was provided by the Moab Area Travel Council. Contact info for the council is at the bottom.
You missed the Yeti Thaw slated for February 12 -14, 2010, yet you are in luck. The dates have been postponed to March 12, 13, 14, 2010. Poison Spider Bicycles invites all to attend. Ride the trails on a Yeti demo bike; enjoy a breakfast at a trailhead with Moab’s Magpie Adventures. http://www.yeticycles.com/#/demo/
Poison Spider Bicycles also presents a new road bike event in Moab called the Gran Fondo Moab. It takes place May 1&2, 2010. Ride Moab’s mountain pass of the La Sal Mountains on the Loop Road. You get 64 miles and 5000 ft elevation. There will be staggered starts for this epic ride. The route will have direction signs. And the course times for each participant will be accurate. Poison Spider Bicycles will be producing this event for road bike riders. http://www.granfondomoab.com/
Skinny Tire Festival ramps up for March 12 -16. The event benefits cancer survivorship. Another beneficiary is the Huntsman Cancer Institute of Utah. It will be a fun weekend with the Yeti Thaw mountain bikes on the back roads and trails, while the road bikes will be on the pavement. Also plan to catch the Banff Mountain Film Festival, a fund raiser for Utah Open Lands the evening of March 15, 2010 at the Grand High School auditorium. http://www.skinnytireevents.com/
