Utah Motorcycle Riders

Ready for a little more challenge? Tighter turns, steeper grades, even better scenery?

For round two of our summer canyon rides series let's tackle my favorite Utah canyons -- Guardsman Pass, Pine Canyon, Cascade Springs, and Timpanagos Canyon. Everything about this route is just ... more. And we love it.

We're going to meet at the mouth of Big Cottonwood Canyon at 10:00AM -- KSU at 10:30AM. The location is the parking lot for Eight Settlers Distillery -- don't worry they will be closed at this time -- which is just south west of the 7-11 (the parking lot at the 7-11 is pretty small so we'll just meetup around the corner so we have extra space as needed).

We'll head up Big Cottonwood Canyon, then wind our way up to Guardsman. It's usually busy at the pass and they don't like people stopping on the road so we will head right past it and can take a short break at the turn off to Pine Canyon.

This next bit is the best piece of canyon road near Salt Lake county, so strap in! And down we go through Pine Canyon and into Midway where we'll gas up at the Chevron on Main Street. The road from Midway to Cascade Springs was recently repaved and is quite nice -- and pretty technical if we want it to be! -- and then empties onto SR92 just past Alpine Loop. Then we'll finish out through Timp Canyon.

Once we bottom out from Timp Canyon we'll stop at the Chevron just up the street to debrief and part ways for the day. From here it's a straight shot back to I-15 so easy access to get back home.

This is the one. This is the ride where I take you through all the best canyons northern Utah has to offer in one epic, relentless, tire-shredding, heart-pounding, two-wheeled adventure.
Not for the feint of heart.*
Route for Epic Canyons. 260 miles total, 5 canyons back to back. 1 stop for gas at Morgan. This is a long day so we will be KSU by 10:30 sharp.
Beginning at Maverik in Draper on Minuteman, we'll head over Traverse Mountain onto Timp highway and head up the canyon towards Alpine Loop, jumping off at Cascade Springs. Through Midway and uphill on Pine Canyon and over Empire Pass into Park City. A quick jaunt down Parley's and onto East Canyon, where we'll empty out at the reservoir and head north into Morgan. Here we can stop for gas and a breather (phew).
Another quick highway jaunt on I-84 towards Huntsville where we'll tackle Trapper's Loop followed by Monte Cristo. A welcome bit of flat riding follows as we turn towards Bear Lake and down into Logan Canyon. We'll wrap up the day at the Maverik in Hyrum on Main Street which is the main road into and out of Cache county, so an easy departure back south through Sardine Canyon and onto I-15.

***Important note***
When I say "not for the feint of heart" I don't mean we're going to ride like maniacs and take unnecessary risks. I mean this is a lot of demanding riding over the course of a very long day. While riding may get a bit more spirited than, say, the basic canyon event, this will at no point get spirited to the point of excess danger or -- dare I say -- stupidity.
That said, it's a long day and a demanding route. Bring your A-game.

See you out there Riderz. Stay safe and have fun.

Welcome to B&B! The idea behind these gatherings is to meet other motorcycle enthusiasts in the community. Building bonds over bacon. Come mingle and meet new friends that enjoy riding. After breakfast, we will go on a nice scenic ride. Anyone is welcome. All styles of bikes are welcome.

Let's meet at Jim's Family Restaurant in Riverton for some yummy breakfast! The address is 1728 Park Ave., Riverton, UT 84065.

From there we'll head towards American Fork and go either Alpine Loop to Provo Canyon (if weather/conditions permit) or further south and directly up Provo Canyon. We'll ride through to Heber/Kamas area and east over Wolf Creek and into Hanna. We can then head south towards Utah Hwy 40 and past Strawberry Reservoir and back to Heber City. We can part ways from there for folks to go north or south depending on their home base.

Ride route and map will be posted here ahead of the event.

Breakfast: 11:00AM
