Social Distancing Today Near Lyon Creek

It's lonely out there. The road to the end of the pavement is still impassable.

TNR Going on Hiatus

Cancelling the TNR is always a tough decision, but in light of Governor Little’s emergency declaration and shelter-in-place order we need to put the TNR on hold for a while.

As a matter of personal safety, I think we are probably OK continuing to ride. But at this moment in time, social distancing is one of very few options that we have to limit the spread of the covid pandemic. It sends a bad message when people (small businessmen, medical professionals, and others) who are making sacrifices see a group of a dozen cyclists out on the road happy and oblivious.

Personally, I plan to get in some solo rides as my schedule allows, and from time to time ride with one or two other people, but avoid organizing group rides until the situation normalizes.                                                                                       Dave

Prepare to secure your spot for the 2020 Crusher in the Tushar!

Registration opens tomorrow!

A Word From Crusher's Founder... It's hard for me to believe that we are approaching a DECADE of Crusher in the Tushar. It truly seems like just yesterday that I was exploring the roads above my hometown aboard my trusty bike and dreaming of how cool it would be if there was an event that could bring people from near and far to come out and do the same sort of exploring with me. That was nearly 25 years ago. It's with no small amount of pride and gratitude that I invite you to help us blow out the candles on the Crusher's 10th Birthday cake this July. I hope to see you there! -Tbird Come celebrate a decade of CRUSHING with us this July for the 10th annual running of the Crusher in the Tushar, a 69.9 mile point-to-point, mixed-surface smorgasbord! Featuring 10,000+ feet of "lift" including a traverse of one of Utah's highest and most scenic roads while reaching elevations nearing 11,000 feet! Starting in Beaver, Utah and finishing at Eagle Point Resort, the Crusher explores the stunning back country of Utah's little-known Tushar Mountains and Fishlake National Forest. Come see what the fuss is about. It's road+dirt! Entry includes 5 fully-stocked and supported aid stations, generous event goodie bag, post-event lunch, awards and prizes for category winners including a cash purse with equal payout for the Open/Pro Men and Women. *Registration opens tomorrow (March 4) at 7PM MST! Set your alarm, remind your buddies, carve it in the dining room table, whatever it takes….just don't miss out as these spots go quickly! Register Tomorrow
