This is an extension of the Bryce Canyon Traverse that adds a bike ride to get you back to Rainbow Point, turning this into a duathlon. I went to Bryce by myself, so I didn't have anyone to car shuttle with, and due to COVID I didn't really want to ride the shuttle. What I did instead was chain my bike up at the visitor center early in the morning and then drove to Rainbow Point.

I'd recommend leaving your bike at Fairyland Point if you're comfortable with that. This way you don't have to run the two miles to the visitor center. I refilled my water at the fountain at the visitor center before doing the rest of the ride back.
