West Desert Century Race Description
YEEEE HAW! Howdy pardner! we're pleased as punch to host you at the 2023 West Desert Century, Metric Century and 30 mile bike rides.
The 2023 West Desert Century has got it all: less congested roads, hills with epic climbs and super descents, and great hometown vibe complements of the city of Grantsville, and a fun, festive feel.
This event is what was previously the Gran Fonda Salt Lake for the last 2 years. But since our relocation of the GFSL to Salt Lake City (see www.granfondosaltlake.com), we've had many people ask us to keep this event. So, here we are! With a new western feel and flair you won't get anywhere else!
We hope you'll join us for what promises to be a great day of cycling with friends of all abilities. We've got you covered with Moto-support, feed stations, cool swag, and post event food!
Whether you're new to cycling or are using this event as preparation for LOTOJA, this event and course has it all!
Be sure to visit our website www.westdesertcentury.com for up to date information.
