It took 4 days and a long detour to Kelowna to fix one bike, but four of us are tonight in Moab, Utah.
Not much to say about the trip down. Except that after going through a heat wave on day one in Kelowna, we were once again rained on pretty badly in the rattlesnake canyon. The place must be curse as in 2005 we had the same crappy weather.
We met up on day 2 with Brad who came straight down from Vancouver, in Baker city.
Salt lake city the Mormon capital is pretty quiet on a Sunday night. Just what we needed after a really long day eating nothing but interstate and having a bit of a fight on the outskirts of the city with some crazy race drivers. This morning, I took off for about half an hour to get a taste for that somewhat famous city. I think I’ll be back one day.
The fun finally really started today near Provo, when we went into some alpine country totally worthy of the Alps. Despite a few wet road it was pretty good. But the highlight has to be the road east of Fairview. A high-speed succession of perfectly smooth curves with next to nobody around. And a really decent scenery to boot.
Tonight we are at full capacity with Theo joining us after renting a bike in las Vegas on Saturday. Tomorrow the boys tour really starts.
