Hey All,
Today was a fairly easy day today. Only 64 miles! That is nothing after doing two back to back centuries! Okay, it also helped that the whole route today was entirely flat! We did have some headwinds that lasted for the first part of the day, but once that subsided, the weather was incredible. 75 degrees, sunshine, and blue skies.
There were a lot of detours today due to construction going on. A lot of the riders ended up getting lost, taking scenic routes, or taking a bit longer to get to the destination. The group I rode with today stopped at American Fork, Ut for lunch. Norb (a fellow starbucks addict) and I went and got our frappicinos. It was nice just hanging out, enjoying the view of the mountains, and the weather. I had forgotten how beautiful the mountains were.
We were close to our hotel, when it appeared that more than half the riders I was with had taken a detour not listed on our cue sheet (also called "the clue sheet" by one nameless rider!) By the time I had realized this, more than half the riders were up a hill. Unable to call them back, Carole and I followed the instruction sheet. Turns out that half the group went back looking for Carole and I, while the other half continued on the route. When we all finally met up, it turned out that I was the one who had taken the unmarked detour! Still, we all made it to our destination, and I had time to lounge in the jacuzzi and have a beer.
The evening was pretty uneventful, a typical dinner at the Sizzler, and instructions for tomorrow. Tomorrow is 75 miles, full of lots of detours with lots of danger zones. Wake up call for me is at 4:30am!
Hope everyone is doing well. Meiri
