What we’re about
Just like the Golden Spike driven at Promontory Summit Utah joined the nation, the Golden Spoke Cycling and Outdoors Club is all about bringing people together as we experience cycling and outdoor adventures.
Welcome! This is a cycling group with other adventures and events thrown in.
We will ride "off road" to explore and socialize vs on road racing and trail shredding. We will use our fantastic, interconnected paved bike paths, Trax, and FrontRunner to travel to biking and non-biking events. Car free and car limited days are the best days! (yay!) We will ride our incredible local mountain bike trails. We will ride single track, double track, dirt road, gravel, and fat bike on snow. We will do day rides, overnighters, multi-day trips, touring, urban bike camping, and bikepacking. Life is way more fun on a bike!
Some rules:
- #1 Be nice!
- #2 Helmets are mandatory.
- #3 All events and activities are at your own risk. By signing up for this group and attending an event or activity you acknowledge and agree to this policy.
- #4 Please update your RSVP-ASAP!
Some tips:
- Always have your bike in good riding condition, be on time and prepared with whatever you need to successfully complete the event.
- Carefully read the event description to see if it matches your skill and fitness level.
- Bring the right bike for the terrain.
- Events will start at the stated departure time unless we receive a message that you are running late. At that time a decision will be made whether to hold the group or have you catch up.
- Every effort will be made to keep the group together. If you ride ahead or turn around you must be prepared to ride alone.
- Kindly update your RSVP. Not timely updating your RSVP or no-showing is rude to other group members and the host. We get it. Life happens. Even if it is last minute, update your RSVP.
We look forward to seeing you out there. Let's ride!

See all- GOLDEN SPOKE RIDE 2025!Legacy Parkway Center street trail head, North Salt Lake, UT
The GOLDEN SPOKE RIDE 2025! is an annual celebration of the completion of the Golden Spoke network of bike paths. The network consists of over 170 miles of connected, paved bike paths between Ogden Canyon and Provo Canyon/Utah Lake.
This free, fun, family friendly event has been held since the completion in 2017 of the suspension bridge over the rail tracks South of North Temple. It is fun to ride over this beautiful bridge.
There are several ride options of various lengths. For more info go to: www.goldenspoke.org
This Meet Up event features a 66 mile ride from the North Salt Lake Center Street Trailhead on the Legacy Trail to the finish at the new Skipper Bay Trailhead at Utah Lake.
I will roll out from my house in Bountiful at 4 am, roll through the Center Street Trailhead at 4:30 am, with the goal to be at the finish at 2 pm. The finish festival runs 2-5:30 pm. There will be supported rest stops along the way. Check for times available. The finish festival will have food trucks. A food voucher will be available for all participants. I will catch FrontRunner at the Provo Station to return home.
This will be a relaxed, party pace ride. I will be wearing my original Golden Spoke yellow t shirt from the very first Golden Spoke Ride, an orange helmet, riding a black bike. Say hello!
This is a fun, well run event celebrating our incredible bike path network. Come ride with us!
