Default Shuttle Service in Brian Head?

I am looking into a trip to Brian Head last weekend in Sept. Does anyone know a shuttle service for running the Virgin River Rim Trail?
Thanks.

or this

The Virgin Rim Trail isn't listed on the sites, but I know I've seen it listed in the shops.

Hope the weather hold ups for you. it's great riding up there.

We did a shuttle on VRRT a couple years ago but not sure which place we used.

It was either George's or the Bike Park

Looks like the park doesn't may not shuttle VRRT anymore.

I've used Georg's for VRRT shuttle service. It's what they call a "reverse shuttle". Drive your own car to Wood Ranch. Georg's meets you there and takes you and your bike to Strawberry Point. As I recall, the ride is about 32 miles total.

Hint: Pack a rag and some chain lube. It's a long, dusty dirt road down to Strawberry Point. Your bike will be on a trailer getting covering in a layer of fine dirt. Your drivetrain will be much happier if you re-lube prior to starting the ride.

Thanks for the hint. I emailed Georg's today. Hopefully he'll get back to me tomorrow.

Second hint about Georg's

If his mom is driving the shuttle van, make sure your bike is well secured. She drives like a maniac. This can be a good thing when you want to make multiple runs but a little scary when she's passing multiple cars on blind two-lane roads, in a fully loaded van/trailer.

EDIT: They may be done for the season with shuttles. Call first.
