St George, Utah Trike Ride on the Virgin River Bike Path

[@janlillis3676]

Thank you very much for taking me along I love the rock formations and the coloring of the rocks so thank you.

[@TravelsByTrike]

You are so welcome, Jan!

Your video helped me to plan my walk along the Virgin River Trail. I have done most of it which is a good accomplishment at age 72 and having arthritis.

[@ChisWest]

Very beautiful trails and breathtaking views. That would make a great daytrip. Great find & Thanks for sharing.

[@TravelsByTrike]

Many thanks, Julius!!

[@OrnamentalMind]

As always you and your videos are awesome!! I've been watching you for many years and have learned a lot. Thanks for all you do.

[@TravelsByTrike]

Many thanks for following along, William!!

[@kenmcclow8963]

I definitely like the current mindset of adding trails that are good for hours of riding. Sometimes those washes can fill with rain that falls miles away so it's probably good not to stop in them unless you can make a quick exit. With all the temperature extremes it has been windy this year. It's great as long as it's a tailwind

[@TravelsByTrike]

Yes, there are lots of signs on the trail to be careful when it rains. This is also true of the great trail system around Tucson.

[@joannemartin7306]

Beautiful ride in a gorgeous part of our country! I was so surprised that the other trike riders had little response to you. If I met you on a trail, I would certainly stop and chat. 😉. Safe travels!

[@TravelsByTrike]

Thank you, Joanne!

[@rogermcewen7378]

Nice visor. Looks just like the ones being sold at the TOT. I appreciated the help getting my trike back to my cabin. Was good seeing you at TOT again. It was enjoyable time in spite of the rain.

[@TravelsByTrike]

Sure thing, Roger. Yes, I'm wearing a TOT visor. I just finished the 1st of 3 videos for TOT time.

[@goblincamper2004]

Wow, I recognize that trailhead. I live in St. George and that is the Sullivan soccer fields. The Virgin River Trail is a very nice bike/pedestrian trail. Nice to see a video of our local trails. You can actually ride the trail from Sullivan soccer fields south to the Sun River community, about 20 miles.

[@TravelsByTrike]

Yes, you live in a lovely place. There is lots of riding to do around St. George - I need to go back.

[@IrvieMartin]

Beautiful trail! My husband and I will have to check it out when we come through. Thanks for the video.

[@TravelsByTrike]

Thanks, Irvie! Yes, this is a trail worth stopping for. The next video is my ride through Zion which isn't far from St. George.

[@patriciaosborne8307]

Great video, Sylvia!! Love the scenery. Those boys probably had long boards, I'm guessing, which are bigger than skate boards. I see them riding down Mt. Tabor. Safe travels, my friend!!

[@TravelsByTrike]

Many thanks, my friend!!

[@thecyclepath-blogger1953]

Great stuff! I am from So. California and have ridden that trail every year since 2017. I rode a little of the hell hole trail once, but I leave that alone. They don't call it hell hole or nothing! I will be ridding the virgin river trail, along with some other wonderful Utah trails in a couple of weeks. Thanks for sharing.

[@TravelsByTrike]

Thanks! Enjoy the ride.

[@tomboyd9053]

What a beautiful and well kept trail! The scenery was great and you even got to see another triker and a "Yellow Velo"... 🙂 Thanks for taking us along. Keep on Triking!

[@TravelsByTrike]

Glad you enjoyed it, Tom!! Take care and stay safe!!

[@markfeldman6509]

Gorgeous ride and video. Thanks for sharing.be careful.of the extreme heat out west. See you soon in New England!

Thanks, Mark!!

[@TravelsByTrike]

Haha, thanks!

[@redtail59]

LOVE your videos! How wonderful that you get to ride so many gorgeous trails! I have an HP Velotechnik Gekko and ride on the Western Maryland Rail Trail a few times a week. The WMRT is a 26 mile paved trail that runs parallel to the C&O Canal Trail.

[@TravelsByTrike]

Thanks, Susan - I would love to ride the WMRT, sounds great!

[@paullyle3461]

Great video Sylvia Have a friend in Saint George this gives me an Idea what kinda trails he lives near, Thanks for sharing.😎🎀😎

[@TravelsByTrike]

Thanks, Paul!

[@salorjim1000]

Great trails, Southern Utah is one of our go to places so I will be sure to look these trails up the next time we pass through the area.

[@TravelsByTrike]

Thank you, Jim!

[@basicmarsh]

Thanks for the great video. it brought back memories. My family rode that trail many many many years ago on our bikes when our boys were little. It all looks much more developed now. Be sure to check out Snow Canyon State Park while you're in that area.

[@TravelsByTrike]

The Ironman World's triathlon was going on while I was there and Snow Canyon was closed. Another time, for sure! There's lots more to check out in the area I couldn't get too.

[@wendellbailey6394]

Glad to see you enjoyed our home town trails and all. Wish we could have meet you. Maybe next time. We are going to Hawaii tonight. Going to meet Mr Bob with Hawaiian trikes KZbin channel. Thanks for sharing. Look forward to your next video.

[@jacigibson9979]

Lovely trails. When were you there? This is now end of June. I would think it's a bit warm there now.

[@TravelsByTrike]

Yes, I wish I could find an app that would let me know when I'm traveling close to contacts. Enjoy Hawaii - that should be a very fun trip.

[@TravelsByTrike]

I was there the beginning of May. It takes me awhile to get these videos made.

[@jacigibson9979]

[@hilaryl6279]

Great bike trail and video! How are you discovering these wonderful trails? Are you using the All trails or Trail Link apps or word of mouth?

[@TravelsByTrike]

I learn about trails mostly while traveling. People tell me what's happening locally and follow their advice.

[@randylyons1500]

Nice tril I am bying a cat trike 559

[@douglaskaye1395]

I have one with aBafang mid drive you might think about the Dumont with the suspension both are excellent trikes.

[@TravelsByTrike]

Enjoy your 559 and congrats!

[@kenmcclow8963]

I like my 559 a lot. If the trail is fairly smooth you don't need a suspension, but once in awhile I hit a bump that makes me oof. I assume the rear suspension would help with that, but it is added complexity and cost. I added a Tongshen mid drive with a torque sensor to help me on steeper and longer hills. On level ground I just shut it off. With just my front middle gear, I can't pedal much faster than 17 mph which is fine for trails. I have thought about adding back the derailleur and large front ring to go faster if I road ride.

[@markfeldman6509]

@@kenmcclow8963 …I’ve ridden a 559 many thousands of miles trouble free. They are awesome. As I ride finely groomed trails I found no need to spend the $800 for suspension that comes with the Dumont( and the added weight). The 559 is plenty fast and comfy. I also ride a 700 which is faster than anything but a little tougher on rougher rides. Both are incredible machines. Enjoy your 559.

[@phyllisboone8957]

Beautiful place! I always enjoy your videos, Sylvia. Thank you again for sharing them. Hoping to see you sometime in West Michigan!

[@timross3008]

How much do you think your trailer will weigh on your next route 66 tour?

[@driewiel]

Now why did John Wayne never use those beautiful bike paths?

[@TravelsByTrike]

Haha, I'm not sure horses are even allowed on these paths. That is an over sight, for sure!

[@driewiel]

I think it was an Assholevelo.

[@TravelsByTrike]

Yes, I had more than one recumbent blow by me with barely a hello. I remember when recumbents always stopped for a chat.
