Stay Park City Cycling offers a mix of set road, gravel and mountain bike rides for all levels. And chocolate and whisky...

 

Most rides depart from the Prospector area of Park City, with a TBD location for 2024. Mike McGurl is the owner, aka “Mayor Mike,” on everything of our club rides.

Class 1 and Class 3 ebikes, which are pedal-assisted ebikes (i.e., ebikes that can only be operated by being pedaled by the rider with pedaling assisted by a small electric motor), are permitted to be ridden on Club rides. Riders of Class 1 and Class 3 ebikes must follow the rules established for ebikes within the Utah Vehicle Code. This includes following the rules of the road that apply to standard bicycles.
