Description:    38 mile ride: This out and back route travels Highway 279 and is a favorite among local roadies because of its unbroken cadence. After passing through the rocky outcropping called "The Portal," the Colorado River begins its cut through the impressive sandstone. The road meanders alongside the tranquil river, maintaining a flat profile through some of the most astounding topography imaginable. Red rock walls rise hundreds of feet straight up from the shoulder of the road as it cuts tightly along the river.
60 mile ride: Enjoy the bike path all the way to Hwy 313 as you ride out of town and past Arches National Park. Once on Hwy 313 you begin the climb from the valley floor to the Mesa top above Moab, all the way to the incredible Dead Horse Point State Park for a spectacular overview at the Earth's edge viewing the Colorado River two thousand feet below. Enjoy the reward of the descent as you wind back down 313, the freshly paved bike path, and crossing the mighty Colorado River.
100 mile ride combines the two rides above.
