Back on the grid. Chased out of S.W. Utah by a dandy storm overnight. BARELY got off Gooseberry Mesa after a LOT of rain. Slipped, Slid & tested the new truck today, White knuckle drive on the clay mud road after the rain. Had to push a 2wd rental minivan up a half mile hill to clear the road. POURED rain starting at 3:00 AM on Gooseberry. Sitting in a Super-8 in Fruita now, listening to the same rain pounding down outside. So much for the backup plan to sneak in a couple of rides here.
4 GREAT days of riding were had, all human powered.
The Rim Shots were great.
Weather & camping were great (at least until last night...)
Gotta love that slickrock. been a while sice I got to play on the rocks.
Likely back home early, since I don't see the 18 Road rides mixing well with lots of rain. Trip getting cut a bit short, but been a great trip. More to follow.
