The Tour de Cure starts in Brigham City and winds through beautiful Box Elder County via Bear River City farmlands and freshwater marshes surrounded by arid desert lands. In June, ducklings and young shorebirds, such as American avocets and black-necked stilts, can be seen. The Golden Spike Monument where the East met the West with our nation's first transcontinental railroad is at the summit of the century route. Cyclists continue to Tremonton and Garland, and then follow Bear River Valley, complete with amazing views, back to Brigham City. Maps for the Golden Spike Century (104-mile route), Metric Century (69-mile) and Quarter Century (25-mile) are available at http://diabetes.org/utahtourdecure.
