We have planned several special solar eclipse bike tours in Utah and Texas to observe the October 14, 2023 Annular Solar Eclipse and the April 8, 2024 Total Solar Eclipse. What better place to be than on your bike to watch these amazing celestial events unfold?!
Annular Solar Eclipse – Saturday October 14, 2023
The next major solar eclipse for the continental USA will occur on Saturday October 14, 2023. This annular solar eclipse is where most of the sun is covered by the moon, but it does not reach totality as the moon is too far in it’s orbit. What you will experience is very dim twilight conditions for about 4 minutes as the sunlight is shaded by the moon creating what as known as the “ring of fire” effect.
We have special dates in October 2023 on the following tours for you to experience this annular solar eclipse. Please click through to register early as these tours will fill up!
- October 9 to 14, 2023: Texas Hill Country Bike Tour
- October 9 to 14, 2023: Redrock Canyons Bike Tour
- October 13 to 24, 2023: Hayduke Trail MTB Tour
Total Solar Eclipse – Monday April 8, 2024
Then comes the next solar eclipse for the continental USA which will occur on Monday April 8, 2024. This total solar eclipse is where all of the sun is covered by the moon and what you will experience are night time conditions for about 4-5 minutes as the sunlight is obscured by the moon. You will notice that the birds stop singing, the insects go quiet, the wind will slow down… as all of nature takes pause at this amazing experience.
We have only one date in April 2024 on the following tour due to the path of this total solar eclipse. This will be a rare treat as the next total solar eclipse in the continental US after this one is not until August 12, 2045, so get on board with this one ASAP!
