My Reason To Ride (R2R) is a non-profit organization working to promote cycling events that raise funds for charitable organizations or causes. We accomplish this through putting on cycling events where cyclists choose a reason to ride from one of three categories: health and wellness, education, and humanitarian aide. Our mission is to unite both cyclist and charities through cycling events to raise money for charitable causes.

R2R – MT. NEBO CENTURY CHALLENGE

Saturday August 3rd

The Mt. Nebo Century Challenge is one of Utah’s most challenging road courses. The course was picked for it’s level of difficulty in order to parallel those challenges faced by those it benefits. This ride is no Sunday stroll! Those that participate will push themselves to new levels climbing the Nebo pass, crossing through the Uinta National Forest and climbing to a staggering height of over 9300 feet. So come prepared or stay home!!! It won’t be easy, but it will be worth it.

 The Mt. Nebo scenic byway, normally thought of as a quiet and lazy “sunday drive”, will take on a whole new meaning when conquered from the seat of your bike. Take the challenge and ride this memorable route, featuring part of the 2010 Tour of Utah course. Enjoy panoramic views of Utah Valley, the Wasatch Mountains, Utah Lake, and an up close and personal view of Mt. Nebo, the tallest mountain in the Wasatch Range. The course crosses the Uinta National Forest between the cities of Payson and Nephi rising to a staggering height of over 9,300 feet.
