Exhilarating road cycling events in the spectacular red rock canyons, arches and mountains of Moab, Utah. Cyclists know about Moab, but they know it as the home of the Slickrock Trail, the Mecca of mountain bikers. What many don’t realize is that Moab has some of the best road biking in the world. There are hundreds of miles of paved roads throughout the world-class scenery.
The Skinny Tire Festival in March is the first road cycling event of the year and spans three days with rides through Arches National Park, along the mighty Colorado River surrounded by red rock cliffs, and out to Dead Horse Point overlooking the huge expanse of Canyonlands National Park and the Colorado River.
The Moab Century Tour in the autumn is a three day road cycling event and encompasses an inspiring variety of landscapes with rides to suit all skill levels. From the depths of the redrock canyons of Moab, riders can glimpse the towering mountains above. This spectacular route rises from the sculptured canyons of the mighty Colorado River up into the La Sal Mountains, then descends back into the canyons leaving you speechlessly in awe of the grand scale of this magical place.
A third annual tour - MoonShadows in Moab - takes advantage of the cool moonlit evenings in May giving a very different cycling experience in canyon country.
Why Moab? — This landscape is unique... cycling alongside sandstone rock formations millions of years old, petroglyphs & ruins that have stood the test of time, the Colorado River carving it's way through the land for millennia, the vast depth & breadth of the Canyonlands seen from above, and the cool majestic mountains of the La Sal's - it's all right here!
Funds raised from the Skinny Tire Festival and Moab Century Tour benefit the Moab Cancer Treatment Center and other cancer survivorship and research organizations, and Kids on Bikes. Each participant in these events is making a major contribution to this worthy cause.
