Red, orange and white aren’t colors that you would necessarily throw out when describing a landscape. Even less so if you were to say that those three colors melt together to create a range of hues that are draped over the spires creating the spectacle that is Bryce Canyon. The Desperado Duel takes you past the doorstep of the National Park giving you a first-hand look of those melted colors and the iconic hoodoos of the canyon.

As Ernest Hemingway pointed out, “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them.” The Desperado Duel gives you that close-up perspective of the Bryce area. With fully stocked rest stops and rolling support sag, you can enjoy just pedaling, taking in all the scenery, fresh air and rural charm as you pedal either the 50, 100 or 150 mile loops.

• Event is chip timed
• Fully stocked rest stops, a great lunch, and more!
• A distance to challenge every rider with 50, 109, & 150 mile options
• You’ll receive a custom Desperado Duel event Medal with your registration

• Roving Sag support
• Same popular route!

Our policies and procedures are being updated. Below are a few changes you will need to adhere to on ride day.

• We plan to adhere to all state and local guidelines for mass gathering numbers. We are also flexible and willing to adhere to any regulations that each venue may have.
• All riders are encouraged to bring their own hydration and nutrition, but we will have rest stops and both nutrition and hydration available, but no self serve.  We will have volunteers to help you with both.
• We plan to do rolling starts according to mileage options and we will send out an email on Thursday, July 23rd with more details.  No mass starts.
• We will separate the starts for each mileage option by 15 minutes. This will help to reduce traffic and reduce grouping and passing.
• No on-site registration at all (just numbers pick up).  Online registration will close Thursday, June 23rd at 2pm MST or when we hit our cap.
• After finishing, riders can pick up their medals at the finish line. We will rely on riders to social distance and be mindful of other riders.
• No Questions Asked Cancellation Policy. If you don’t feel well, please stay home and we will refund your money up until the event day.
