Tour Highlights

The Utah Bike Ride will take us into our 43rd and 44th state (Wyoming). The untamed beauty of the “wild west” can only be admired as it should from the seat of a bicycle and we are thrilled to introduce you to the area by giving you a sampling of some of the most beautiful roads and bicycle paths the country has to offer.

We’ll begin by meeting up on Wednesday, June 26th in Salt Lake City, UT. We suggest getting in early so you have time to put your bike together. We will stay the night at a host church in Salt Lake City on the 26th and leave early on Thursday, June 27th by car to head to our starting line church in Evanston, WY. You’ll enjoy our Ends Cycling Orientation and a scenic 10-mile training ride in Evanston that afternoon.

Friday, June 28th will be day one of this breath-taking bike ride. We’ll have an incredible scenic ride through the Uinta Mountains. The day is long, but the views are worth it. (Believe it or not, this is our optional century day!) On Day 2, we’ll pedal our highest peak and enjoy a long and beautiful descent into Orem, UT. Day 3 will see us make our way through Salt Lake City and enjoy some of the beautiful views of Utah Lake on our way. On day 4, we’ll get to experience the incredible and extensive bike paths through the center of Salt Lake City as we head to one of the most iconic and famous landmarks in the SLC area, Emigration Canyon.
Finally, what would a trip to Salt Lake City be without visiting the Great Salt Lake? This will be a unique day of riding as we make our way through SLC heading north to our finish line on the enchanting Antelope Island State Park. There you’ll get into your support vehicle and tour the island searching for wild bison and other wildlife along the way. Pizza party and debrief to follow at our host church that evening.

While some parts of this bike ride are unique, some elements remain the same: each evening we’ll gather to worship the Lord Jesus Christ together, hear testimonies from the ride, and pray for the youth of India and our UTBR2024 beneficiary, Metro Missions. We’ll have a ton of fun and make memories to last a lifetime. Come and join us!

For Youth of India

Our beneficiary, Metro Missions, has been ministering in India since 2004. Funds raised from this tour will enable hundreds of youth workers to be trained and in turn, thousands of marginalized children living in unhealthy conditions will come to know their identity in Christ. They will grow up educated and become transformational leaders. Help us meet the needs of these youth and #PrayPedalRepeat for the youth of India!

Where the money goes

Not to Ends Cycling

The majority (90%) of all donations goes directly toward impacting youth served by our beneficiary in this county, in Jesus’ name. The remaining funds (10%) support the administrative costs for our parent organization, New International, a not-for-profit which, in all honesty, helps us do what we do even better. Tax deductible receipts and year end giving statements are provided to all tour participants and donors.  Find our more about our financial transparency and accountability standards on our About page.
