Day #336 White Rim Trail, Utah


Photo of cycling trip
Utah, USA
near Moab
of
Terri
and Tito
in the mid 1990's

She writes of sandy roads which slow you down to 5 miles per hour, and of the melting heat. Another cycling consideration for me.
She mentions the feeling of being lost as there were no signs for 50 miles; how she was convinced that no road would go up that canyon, but it did somehow. And they did.
The boys from Australia mention something similar on their blog. They came upon a fork in the road on the Trans Canada Trail but there was no sign designating the way. As luck would have it, a logging truck happened to come over the next hill.
In Terri and Tito's case, techno racers on their bikes came up behind them and passed them, saying 'yes, this is the way to Moab'.
What ever your road, may it be smooth.

WOW< WOW!!!! Cycling across Canada at age 65. I'm 2 years younger and can not even ride a bike.
Hi Karen, lovely placing my order with you 2 nights ago, it is so nice to meet pleasant people on the phone.You certainly have an ambitious goal, I say "You go girl" I walk quite a bit when the walking is safe, meaning not icy under foot, I fell last winter so am very careful now.Drop me a note so we can e-mail directly. Hope you can get your bike out soon.
