AM got to cabelas @ 8 AM. My goal was to ride my road bike from Lehi to Mount Carmel Jct. by saturday afternoon. I knew that mike and randy had to leave me by friday afternoon to get back to there families, so we were going to cover as much ground as we could. There were 3 friends of mikes that were going to ride with us to Goshen, so we had a nice peleton going west of Utah lake averaging about 22 mph. It was an awesome ride, but grasshoppers galore.
We broke off with rob, tony, and john in goshen and headed up the canyon. I pulled outi n head, because I climb a little better than the other two. They caught me at Mona and then we ate lunch with a great family in Nephi. The wife is going to be coaching Juab's XC team this year, so I laid down the gauntlet ;)
Marvin sagged for us the whole trip so we through our bikes into the truck and got up to the Nephi canyon summit. We then whipped down through Moroni and Fountain Green with a close run in with the huge tractor hauling a bailer. We passed him in town and he was pissed and tried to run us off the road about five miles out of town.
When we got just to Manti a huge head wind come up, so we loaded our bikes and took some pics by the temple and headed for Richfield. |
