We drive into Milford to start our ride, we are not going to ride the extra 12 miles from Beaver!! No way. Definitely more lakes and rivers. In fact most of the rivers are running high, I guess with the late snow that is still on the mountain tops. It’s Felipe’s turn this time and the chain comes off while he is riding THE bike. Ray is on hand to see that everything works and with some handy mechanics Felipe is on the go again. We are in High Plains territory, or so it seems. I can imagine Clint Eastwood riding (sorry) into the small town up here and helping the towns folk against the bad guys. Certainly reminded me of some of his films. We are headed to Cedar City, and although the roads are not steep, they are very long, and even going downhill the wind is into our faces, so it’s a hard ride.
Cedar City is an old mining town, but it seems to be a busy place and they do call it the Festival City. Sure enough in the first park that we come to there is a group playing – sounds like rock and roll.
KOA is another great site, but no electric cooker and the wind is really bad, so much so that we cann’t get the water to boil. No comments please, just not doing it. Peanut butter sandwiches, granola bars are the order of the meal. We also decide to trade Felipes bike and so to Trail Cycles, we get a decent deal and Felipe now has a road bike which will make him even faster still. The question is will I be able to keep up?
Tomorrow we ride to Bryce Canyon, and there is absolutely no internet there, we will be camping in the wilderness, so sorry all but no report for you, plus Monday is a rest day, so you will all have to wait until Tuesday for the next report. Have fun all as I’m sure that we will.
