Mark Cavendish picked up his 5th stage win today – not too shabby for this former BMX and mountain biker. 5 stages in one tour…he’s making my task a bit more difficult, since there’s not a lot of variety going on here!
Alas, digging deep into my suitcase of associations - since Cavendish races for Team Columbia-HTC (Columbia Sportswear is based in Portland, OR) and the team rides Scott bicycles (based in Sun Valley, Idaho) – we’ll have to give a shout out to the western US and feature our Zion & Bryce bike tour. (In addition, a bike tour in Utah also honors Cavendish’s early roots as a mountain biker…as Moab is a mecca for many a mtb fan.)
However, biking in Utah is not only for mtb aficionados, there is so much more to explore! Our bike tour of Zion and Bryce National parks will have you touring Southern Utah and its awe-inspiring parks on a multi-sport adventure that features daily biking and hiking excursions designed to enhance the experience of these incredible multi-hued natural rock formations.
The natural wonders of Utah will inspire you…just as the Isle of Man’s natural wonder, Mark Cavendish, will be an inspiration to many a cyclist and sprinter, too.
