Glad to read you were feeling better today.
2 years agoGreat job on such a tough day!
2 years agoBetween the heat and climbing, that's a tough day on the bike. Congratulations for getting through it!
2 years agoSorry your day was so tough. I totally understand, since that's what last Saturday was like for me.
May tomorrow be better!
Oof!!! That profile makes me tired just looking at it!
2 years agoIt’s a double edged sword between being refueled and beating the heat. We do have 4,600 feet of downhill tomorrow. That should help keep me cool.
This morning I had oatmeal and a banana before leaving. Now I’m going to try a real breakfast.
Can you ride 65
Miles on a Cliff bar and coffee? I don’t even dare try!
Kelly, a large high pressure dome is right over Utah. Tomorrow will be very hot. I’d like to see you riding at daybreak. Eat all you can tonight, grab a Clif bar and coffee at 6:00 and head out!!!

i remember this store from my 2017 Western Express tour! It was well-stocked then also.

2 years agoVery, very fine picture.
2 years agoOren showed this strange upheaval to me years ago. Strange formation, eh?
2 years agoWe blatantly borrowed much of your route in 2019 for the Grand Canyon tour - it was wonderful, thank you!
We did ride old Highway 6 (but skipped it today - the tailwind was too enticing). We also rode into Green River the back way - that was in very bad shape in 2019, including a dirt section. We are dirt weary, after that rock section going to Sapinero. I think we are all getting on the interstate - after riding horrible 191 for two days, the novelty of the wide shoulder on the interstate is appealing.
In 2019 we rode out of Moab to Monticello - going uphill. We left at daybreak and had a stream of cars from the get go. We were mentally prepared, but didn't like it any better than the first go round. At least this time we were headed downhill.
2 years agoAre you biking toward Hanksville next? If so, I d ride Airport Road and the old state highway instead of another long stretch on the interstate. It’s a bit rough but wasn’t bad five years ago.
