Another scenic ride that began in Ivins, Utah. This has been a great course to train for the triathlon season. This ride starts out with several flats and incline to get warmed up.
The course is a well maintained road that travels through a variety of terrains. The "wall" as it is known is by far the most difficult portion of the ride. This is a super steep incline that last for over 1 mile. Most riders who attempt this climb are well trained on their bikes.
Start in St. George, Utah near the Snow Canyon baseball fields. Lots of parking.
Follow the map. The first 10 miles or so is through an upscale desert community with roads that are easy to get confused. The rest of the course is easy to navigate.
I use and promote Hammer Nutrition products. This ride had Perpetuem, Heed, Hammer Gel, and Endurolytes.
Refill your water bottles at the Very Merch and I get some jerky for something solid.
There is a State park along the way.
