Temple to Temple

Temple to Temple Epic Bike Journeys

T2T.1
In the Summer of 2004 Mike Perdue rode about 1500 miles from the Nauvoo Illinois Temple to the Salt Lake City Utah Temple roughly following the trail the Mormon pioneers took after their exodus from Nauvoo in 1846. Mark Bolton joined Mike in Casper Wyoming. This became the first Temple to Temple bike ride.

T2T.2
Five years later in the summer of 2009 Mike Perdue, Mark Bolton, and Mike Hansen rode the second Temple to Temple ride. Their journey covered over 535 miles of beautiful mountainous county beginning at the Denver Colorado Temple, riding to the Vernal Utah Temple, and finishing at the Salt Lake City Utah Temple. This journey was written up in MormonTimes

T2T.3
As soon as the second Temple to Temple ride was complete thoughts and ideas of the third journey were in process. Several options were considered and finally Logan Utah Temple to Billings Montana Temple was selected. The route took Mike Perdue, Mark Bolton and Mike Hansen through four states as well as Teton and Yellowstone National Parks. A brief article in the Deseret News was published July 26, 2011.
