Tour De St. George

I'm really thinking about traveling to St. George this fall. If any of you want to get away to the South for the UEA weekend let me know. I would like to participate in the Tour De St. George and I need a good excuse to start the winter out with one last ride before the snow flies. This is a ride not a race... and it is fun. It has some challenging terrain. It is not a flat course but it is a fun course.

This was my first ever organized ride last year. I participated in the 30 miler... and in the spring I did the century. The century was tough but that was my second organized ride and my very first century. I did it by myself. If I were to rate the difficulty it would be similar to the Tour of Wellsvilles. With all of our training and a few pickup rides between, the century can be done. If your don't want to do the century you could always do the metric century or if you just want a good excuse to dust off your bike you could do the 30 miler... I promise I won't make fun of you, remember I did this last year... you have to start somewhere. The food and beverages have been well stocked in the past with plenty of rest stops and lunch provided. It took me 7 hours last spring to complete the century but there were a lot of factors... there were wind gusts up to 30 mph, it was my first century and I was doing this alone, just to name a few.

Let me know if you are interested. I plan on going down with my family. We have typically made a weekend of it. You can get more details here:
