Today was such a beautiful ride. 90 miles through some awesome scenery put everyone in a great mood. The pictures that I took today will likely be framed someday and put in my future home.
I rode with Reggie from Iona and Alex from GA Tech today. Reggie unfortunately had to stop after about 20 miles due to a strained tendon in his leg. Alex and I then completed the climb up to 9475 feet. This was an incredibly steep grade, but a fun ride nonetheless. When we reached the top we could’ve walked up about 200 feet and touched snow; it was that cold on top of the mountain. We then had a very long descent and averaged about 26 mph the rest of the ride into Duchesne.
Once in Duchesne we went to their reservoir and had a great time on the beach snacking on chips and cookies provided by the local Chamber of Commerce. We were pleasantly surprised when we all got the opportunity to go tubing out on the water. It was a great way to unwind after a very long day.
For dinner the Duchesne Lions Club hosted us at the park’s pavilion. There was a tremendous meal of ribs, scones, salad, cheesy potatoes and about 3 square feet of brownies.
Utah has turned out to be a beautiful state and I have enjoyed nearly every moment of it!
Thanks for checking in on me!
Love & Honor,
Beau
