'BIKES & BURRITOS' Overnight Bicycle Tour - Park City, Utah

There’s this beautiful little resort town called Park City, Utah. I moved to Park City from California 16 years ago… and just recently started offering guided group bike tours of the city and the surrounding areas.

In May of 2022 I hosted my second Bicycle Touring Pro “Bikes & Burritos” Overnight Bicycle Tour in Park City, Utah… and we had a great group of people from all across North America come out for the tour.

This was the first tour, totally by coincidence, where the group consisted of all men.

We cycled from old town Park City, down Main Street and past all of the old historic buildings, through Park City Mountain Resort - the largest ski resort in North America, into Kimball Junction (the newer, more modern side of Park City), and onto Jeremy ranch, where we enjoyed the green grass views alongside the neighborhood’s beautiful golf course.

Then, about half way through the day, we jumped on a dirt road where the scenery changed entirely, and it was a 9-mile bike ride before reaching our home for the night - Big Rock Campground, situated on the south side of Echo State Park.

Once in camp, we quickly chowed down on our burrito dinner, set up our tents, and spent the rest of the evening sitting around the campfire and getting to know the other people in our group.

In the morning, breakfast was served… then we packed up our bikes and cycled back into downtown Park City, where the bike tour had begun no more than twenty-four hours before.

I’ve been running these “Bikes & Burritos” overnight bicycle tours in California and Utah for more than five years now… and what I like so much about these tours is that the people who come out for the tours come from a wide range of experience levels.

Some people are totally new to bike riding, others have never camped or even set up a tent before, and others are experienced bicycle travelers who are just looking for a unique experience that allows them to get into nature, meet new people, and travel to places they have never experienced before.

So, if this looks like the sort of bicycle tour you might enjoy participating in, consider joining us on a future “Bikes & Burritos” overnight bicycle tour!

But act fast if this looks like something you want to do, because space is limited and these tours tend to fill up pretty quickly.

In fact, the next “Bikes & Burritos” overnight bicycle tour takes place on the weekend of September 17th and 18th in Park City, Utah… and while there are still several spots remaining on that tour, I suspect those spots will fill up very soon - especially as the tour draws closer.

So, once again, if this looks like the sort of bicycle touring experience you might enjoy… or you’re new to bicycle touring and want to put your overnight biking and/or camping skills to the test, consider joining us on the next Bicycle Touring Pro “Bikes & Burritos” overnight bicycle tour.

As one of the participants in this video (blue and yellow jacket), I can tell you that this is a great intro or refresher for cycle touring - and a great introduction to Park City. Darren does a terrific job pulling this together and I’d recommend it to anyone.

Very cool that your buddy Rob from Canada was able to join you for this overnighter! 👍

I just watched that fascinating interview you had with that 18-year-old who was cycling across country from Minnesota. That was one of the best interviews I've ever seen with a cyclist. I was disappointed that comments were turned off there. That young fellow was so mature and had such an incredibly good attitude towards life his fellow man and his experience on a bike... I was just immensely impressed! 👍👍

[TheLetsPlayCommunity]

Alright! Glad to see you're doing well, mate!

[joemtbr]

Missed your videos. Please keep them coming.

[kathyclemente]

[rabh]

Cool video Darren, you inspire so many people to get out there👍I hope we will see another tour soon, I really miss watching your amazing videos and can't wait to see you do a longer trip again!

[KokoroBand-LA]

Very cool, Darren, and I see that your buddy Rob managed to attend this B&B overnighter as well! Must've been cool to ride together again!

Great video and especially enjoyable to hear about the other trips that people have planned this year.

[sueg]

So good to see this video. Thank you :-)

[Journeyman]

I wish I lived closer it would be great to meet you

[Scor-ah]

Looks like a nice trip, love your videos..I might have to join you some day

[mikes]

Not sure why this video popped up in my feed, but I enjoyed it. Looks like a great time! Sounds like someone made a wrong turn though. Narrator said they were going to Echo State Park, but the group ended up at East Canyon State Park! At least the food made it to the right spot.

I was missing your videos but thanks for this one. One day I definitely want to ride my Bicycle in US and I hope I can meet you, maybe exactly on this Bikes & Burritos, who knows? But, anyway, Thanks Darren and God Bless you.

[AdventuresWithDaniel]

Good to see a video from you! It seemed like it had been awhile since a video showed up in my feed. Glad to see you're doing well!

[waltquandt]

Hey Darren, Glad you are doing well. I was just thinking that you haven't posted in a while and hoped all was OK. The Bikes and Burritos trip looks like fun. Good luck with the upcoming trip in September! Take care.

[reeceholmes]

hello Darren, nice to see you again, you got a tour planned? great stuff

[majchers]

Nice little video Darren. Nice people and strangely (really?) - a lot of similarities among them all. I.e. I also am aiming at the Camino this year, and also in September!

[Epitome]

What was the temperature? Everyone is bundled up.

[BosisofSweden]

You can take a boat to the US??? Need to investigate that! I would love to be able to visit my uncle in Colorado but I don't fly.
