Mountain Biking the White Rim in a Day
The White Rim Trail is an epic road that travels through the most remote aspects of the Island in the Sky District in Canyonlands National Park. In April of 2024, we decided to attempt to mountain bike the entire 102 mile trail in one day (WRIAD). Our ride took over 12 hours and here is how it went.

Epic
Congrats, gents...that was incredible. Great to see this and its amazing views. Nice content as always, Luke!!
I attest that the memory of this ride lasts a lifetime. I did it in 1995 and this video brought back the thrill.
You guys killed it! you looked way better at the end than i did, when i did it. Lol, i just remember crawling in the back of my truck and laying down, not realizing how much time went by. I went to city market afterward, and ate a whole watermelon .. good times. anyway after doing it a few times, i said i would never do it again... but for some reason this video popped up, and now i am thinking about it again. once again awesome job guys!

What was your training like for this? Any particular plan, or was it just “ride a lot all the time”?

Training was lightly structured the 8 weeks leading up to this. I live an active lifestyle so did a lot of snowboarding and split boarding throughout the winter. About 8 weeks out, I aimed to do 3+ rides per weeks, gradually increasing the workload to 8-10 hours of cycling weekly. Main focus was zone 2 / steady rides... though the longest I rode in prep for this day was ~5 hours. The other goal of this was to retrain my gut to eat a lot of carbs during the ride. That said, I tried to make all of my riding fun and didn't take this suuuuper seriously. In fact, we did a 2 hour MTB ride at Navajo Rocks the day prior. Probably would have gone a bit faster had we trained more and rested up before this.... but was ultimately going more for the experience and a fun time rather than a fast time. Thanks for watching!
Never do this when people expect you to arrive 2 hours ago. I've done it twice in one day. The first time I said I would never do it again and three days later my I told my wife that I feel the need to do it again and she said, "That is why women have more than one child."...I am planning my third time as I approach age 60 with a ride back to Moab.
