Road Trip

Thursday after work a friend and I loaded up our mountain bikes and headed to Deer Valley, UT. About 2am we got a room in Cedar City, UT and slept for 4 hours. Then back on the road.

We got to my friends place in Deer Valley about noon on Friday. We scrounged up some food, old bread and some peanut butter and frozen soup from last year.

We were on our bikes by 1:30pm. The leaves were changing, the weather perfect and the views incredible. We killed it for 2 1/2 hours until my rear brake blew out.

I got my bike to the bike shop and had a deep conversation with the mechanic.

"Dude I need your help."

"Dude"

"Yeah"

"Dude no worries. I'll have it for you first thing in the morning"

"Dude"

No need to waste words when you are in the brotherhood.

Hot tub, Mexican food, sleep.

Saturday was an epic 5 1/2 hour ride. Hardest ride with the most vertical I have ever done. Incredible!!

Hot tub, pizza, football, sleep.

12 hour drive back to San Diego, 1 ticket (not mine), 2 stops at Wendy's.


My next crazy adventure? A 12 hour MTB Race on November 15th - 12 Hours of Temucula!!

Deer Valley is one of the best places to mountain bike! I think it is better than Tahoe! Have fun at 12 hours.......pedal hard
