October Utah Daily Ride Itinerary

SATURDAY

9 September 2023

October 1, 2023 (Sunday), 7:00 AM KSU from Shell Station (Comanche and Hwy 58).  Everyone will gas up there. We will make 3 stops along the way to Mesquite.  It’s 354 miles, or 5 hours. We will stop for breakfast at Peggy Sue’s in Barstow.  If you don’t want to stop as many times as I do, you can continue at your own pace. The Virgin River Casino’s address is 100 East Pioneer, Mesquite, NV.  It’s about an hour and half north on Hwy 15 from Las Vegas. 

October 2 (Monday) we will meet for breakfast at 8:00 AM at the casino.  We will leave for Cedar City at 10:00 AM.  The distance is 90 miles.  We will stop for lunch at The Market Grill.  After lunch we will travel on Hwy 14 to Duck Creek Village, turn north on Mammoth Creek Rd and travel through Dixie National Forest.  We will then proceed to our hotel (Comfort Inn and Suites, 1288 South Main St, Cedar City) for check-in.  Everyone is on their own for dinner.  There are plenty of places to eat around our hotel and in Cedar City.  The distance for the day is about 150 miles. 

October 3 (Tuesday) we will travel the back way to Zion National Park. Everyone is on their own while in the park. There are plenty of stops for sightseeing. Shuttles are available in the park. We will meet at 4:00 PM (where we parked the bikes).  From Zion we will ride to Milt’s Stage Stop (3560 East Hwy 14, Cedar City) for dinner.  Milt’s is a little pricey, but it looks like a fun place. 

October 4 (Wednesday) we will meet at 8:30 AM for breakfast at Pork Bellies Eatery (565 South Main St, Cedar City).  After breakfast we will head to Bryce National Park.  At the park we will stop at Ruby’s Inn for shopping.  While at the park we will decide where to have dinner. 

At both the Virgin River Casino and the Comfort Inn there are pools. Let’s plan on having a get together every night at the pools.  Bring your swimsuit if you want to cool off from the daily ride.  

I want to remind everyone that the Comfort Inn provides a free breakfast.  And always on my overnight rides, you don’t have to eat where I eat or stay where I stay.   I also want to let everyone know we are going to 3 National Parks. Entry is $30 at the gate.  If you want to save some money buy an annual pass from The Bureau of Land Management (35126 McMurtrey Ave, Bakersfield, 391-6000).     

October 5 (Thursday) we will return to Bakersfield.  It’s 454 miles or 6 ½ hours from Cedar City to Bakersfield. We can meet early and ride home as a group or you can ride home at your time.
