Cactus Hugger Festival Wind-up!

2008 Cactus Hugger Festival . . .

. . . helped numerous riders discover one of the best cycling experiences of the West, pedalling through the springtime desert landscape beneath the majestic red sandstone cliffs of Southwestern Utah. The Cactus Hugger Cycling Festival was sponsored by the Southwestern Utah Bicycle Touring Association renamed to Cactus Hugger Cycling Club.

Profits from this festival will stay in the community to benefit bicycle safety education, bicycle advocacy, and purchase new helmets for kids.

The 2008 festival included the Eighth Annual Cactus Hugger Century (with 65 and 42 mile courses), a family fun ride, free bicycle helmets for kids, and a Sunday ride through Zion National Park.

Ride Info

The Cactus Hugger Century route wound over quiet back country roads with beautiful redrock vistas and desert wild flowers popping out. The Sunday ride to Zion National Park provided enough eye-candy to last a lifetime~~or at least until your next trip to Southwest Utah. Send in your favorite photos and we'll post them in the Gallery!
