In its third year, Ride the Red will explore new terrain along historic trails and the Continental Divide of the northern Red Desert. The core route will be 38 miles long; you'll have the option about half way through to do an additional loop, exploring St. Mary's Peak area, that will extend the ride to 49 miles.

Following the Seminoe Cut-off of the Oregon and California National Historic Trails westward, the route will start at the Warm Springs Pony Express Station three miles south of U.S. Hwy. 287, just east of Sweetwater Crossing. After 16 miles of fun two-tracks, we’ll turn east onto the Continental Divide Trail with an optional additional loop into the St. Mary’s Peak area for the energetic. Passing Weasel Springs, we’ll drop into Coyote Gulch. We’ll have many opportunities to view pronghorn, elk, wild horses, raptors and historical features. View a map of Ride the Red '04 route.

Please join a friendly group of energetic bicyclists on a fun ride through the scenic Red Desert. A reasonable level of fitness is important, but past participants have brought a wide range of experience and fitness level. Snacks and refreshments will be provided at aid stations and an attractive T-shirt will be given to all participants.
