    • Hard tail mountain bike is best.

    • Full suspension crosscountry bike is good too.

    • If you’re an experienced rider— with sound technical abilities— a gravel bike with 45mm tires is also goo.

    Enjoy snacks, free coffee, and hang before we depart at 9:30am sharp so that we can catch FrontRunner at 10:03am!

  • Depart at 9;30am, ~5hrs riding, guided-ish, participants expected to be self sufficient-ish, pack & carry ur own lunch.

  • Biking is fun. People are cool. Soaking in hot springs is chill. So is exploration. Come as you are be as you are. Weirdos welcome.

  • We’re a crew of SLC folk who believe that the more butts on bikes, the better our city. ALL WELCOME. Bike.Club meets every Wednesday for a 10 mile party cruise through the heart of downtown SLC. Ending in a free sauna at RoHa Brewing. Cruise with us.

  • It’s an alley cat bike race put on by SLUG magazine. We encourage all to enter it but no pressure. At the very least, we will end at the event where there is food, good bike folks, and a live DJ.

  • The bike is our tool to connect, enjoy, discover the valley, and spend quality time with a crew of good peeps.

  • If ride paces aren’t aligned such that we can all ride together, then we will split into two crews: The Cruisers— leisurely paced, enjoyable cruise. This group soaks in the scenery, and goes the pace of the “cruisiest rider” 2) The Hammerheads— expected to be self-sufficient, this group rides as hard as you want with options to add extra miles.

  • Lucas M.Ed, WFR, ultra-marathoner, former pro-skier, expert coach & guide, led a non-profit organization and taught middle school science before joining forces with Marshall to birth Unplugged. Marshall is a coach, mindfulness teacher, former pro-cyclist & community leader with thirteen years experience in adventure travel and group facilitation. In the face of fast-paced, hyper-serious dopamine induced convenience culture, we are here to wave our freak flag for the connected-and-free, active-and-playful, sustainably-wild, lifestyle.

Maria, Unplugged Adventure, 2024

“Before the adventure I was nervous about my ability to complete the ride. But I was open, excited and prepared to experience discomfort.

Now I feel capable, strong, grounded, seen, held, supported, valued and have like 3 new friends. The ride brought me back to an inner knowing that tribe is important; that we need to make time for one another; and that playfulness is never far away.”
