The 2nd annual Rise to Rail Mixed Surface Ride & Social is on September 21, 2024. Join us for a day of riding bikes and socializing as we rise over Big Mountain to explore the Historic Union Pacific Rail Trail. This mixed surface ride features some of Utah's iconic paved roads, gravel roads, and singletrack outside Salt Lake City's backdoor.

Post-ride is the Social with food, beverages, and product giveaways. Join us for a casual fun day, meet the Snēk family, and mingle with others. Anyone and everyone is welcome! We'd love to meet and ride with you.
