We opted to shuttle to the start of Bull Run with Coyote Shuttles – Thanks
Jim! Good call since doing a retrieval would have added another hour to our
long day.
Interesting note about the Coyote VW’s, Jesse, the owner has combined two
vans to create longer ones! Pretty cool. Coyote runs out of Chilli Pepper Bike
Shop.
The Gold Bar ride used to start at Gemini Road, but they created a new Epic
Ride – Mag7 –
a 26 mile point to point between Hwy 313 and the exit at Portal on Hwy 279
( Potash Road). The first sections – Bull Run – Arths Corner – Little Canyon
Single Track – can also be done as an out and back if you don’t want to shuttle.
The ride up Gold Bar, Golden Spike to Portal is long and does requre some route
finding to make it interesting.
Mag 7 starts off Hwy 313 on the Gemini Bridges road.

fit.

Which way to we go! You can bail here and go back to Gemini Bridges road.
Then we head down Portal
