Utah Cliffs Loop

It's that time of the year again! For 2013 I am looking into doing an out of state multi-day bicycle touring trip. This year I am eye-balling the Utah Cliffs Loop in Utah.

 
This 286 mile loop starts and end in St George and the road surfaces are approximately fifty percent dirt and gravel roads and fifty percent paved roads.
Because of this combination of bike paths, paved roads, and rugged back-country tracks, a good mountain bike – preferably one that's fully suspended – is the bicycle of choice. However, a hard-tail or even my bike with no suspension will work fine. So I will have some decisions to make on whether I will take my Haro Werx, or my Salsa Vaya as my bicycle of choice (Meet my bikes)

Anyway, I have some map-studying to do and I will keep this blog up to date on my plans moving forward. Timing for my trip is somewhere end September begin October.
