Well today the graces were with us. We had amazing weather and luck. It started with the trip to the bike shop. Erik squeaked out with a $50 part and some labor. They were able to get it done by 11. We went into town searching for breakfast and a ride up the mountain when we lucked out on both. We met a policeman at the polaris dealership (yes that is where you go for rides up mountains in Utah... who knew?) He was coming back at 1:00 to pick up his ATV and offered to take us back to where we stopped Saturday night.
I went into town and bought a few things for loved ones and Erik went to the hardware to fix his BOB trailer... Well at 1:00 sharp we loaded our bikes onto the kind policeman's flat bed and drove up 25 minutes what took us 6 hours on Friday.
Filled with vitamin Dr. Pepper we rode off after many thanks and headed here to Panguitch. The ride was spectacular. We saw volcanic residue from millions of years ago (ok like I know how long ago?...) The ride was beyond words... we saw it all. The national forest is called Dixie... land of many uses... well that is a great description. Even the snow was pretty!
We stopped for a tasty Burger at the Burger Barn... Solid food has been making me feel sick, and this was no exception. It tasted great and I am sure was top quality, but my stomach can't stand solid food. We will keep you posted.
So another KOA tonight and then who the heck knows tomorrow? lol I think it is Bryce canyon or something like that... you know... more spectacular scenery... ho hum...
Really it is some of the most breathtaking natural land I have ever seen. I've been in Utah before, but never this way... Try it...
Keep the comments coming. They help us. Really.
Much love

Stewart and I are rooting you guys on. We check your blog a couple times a day to see if you posted anything. We've been biking a lot lately and can't imagine what your crotch feels like:)
Brooksie and Stewart
I shall not comment on Brooksie commenting about what your crotch feels like.
Hi Tom, thanks for keeping your blog up to date. Dad and I were discussing how awesome your trip is going. Post pictures if you can. Your coming up on Pueblo. Maybe Bruce can set up a table on the side of the road with cups of water and hand you guys one as you ride by.
sending love from the land of the midnight sun, i think about you often and can only imagine the beauty that rolls out before you. to those who think you insane, maybe they should look at their lives and re-evaluate the meaning of the word. you may be the only sane ones around. i almost cry when i imagine the moments of grace and awe that pass through your hearts as the miles slip behind you. i love that you are doing this, i love it. gerd
You have a crotch?
Seriously, glad you had a brief break and caught up on some rest, hopefully. Jim's going to fly out to hook up with you for a few days. Where do you plan on being on June 1 so I can make his flight arrangements!!
BTW, I would love to see you post some photos!!
Love,
Chrissy
