Prepare for an empowering cycling experience at the Goldilocks 2026 - Utah County, a fully supported, non-competitive bike ride designed exclusively for women, taking place on Saturday, September 19, 2026, in Mona, UT. Starting and finishing at the picturesque Young Living Lavender Farm, this event promises breathtaking scenery and a welcoming atmosphere. Riders can choose from a range of distances including 20, 40, 60, 80, and a challenging 100 miles, ensuring there's a "just right" route for every ability level.

The Goldilocks courses offer stunning views, with routes winding through beautiful lavender farms and country roads for the shorter distances. Longer rides extend to include the incredible Goshen Canyon, orchards, a stop at Rowley's Red Barn, and the spectacular West Mountain loop along Utah Lake, showcasing a side of Utah County few get to see. While the 20- and 40-mile routes are largely flat and fast, the 60, 80, and 100-mile courses feature climbs around West Mountain and heading south to Mona, rewarded with exhilarating downhill sections. Riders consistently praise the event's "wonderful vibe," highlighting the camaraderie and supportive spirit among participants.

Goldilocks prioritizes rider support and comfort with rest stops conveniently located every 10-15 miles, fully stocked with snacks, aid, and amenities like flush toilets at the new venue. "Papa Bear" support riders and a dedicated dispatch team are on hand to assist with any on-course needs, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable journey. Beyond the ride, Goldilocks fosters community and wellness, contributing to the Days for Girls non-profit, and celebrating every finisher with a unique necklace. Typical race day conditions in mid-September bring pleasant highs around 77°F and lows around 50°F, with a minimal 5% chance of precipitation, creating ideal cycling weather.
