My bike is awaiting fixing.
It took a week and a hundred miles.
I was amazed to find one in Kanab since it was not in the phone skills. I only wanted to go to family dollar even though it was closed. Just before that was this bike shop.
So reinventing a plan I never had. I slid over to AZ and ca$ped out on the strip.
The next day I got a hotel room. Just in time a huge storm swept through. The fisrt day which was Wed. They never should up. The second the guy was on vacation. So no bike fix.
Spending three days for answer like that was a let down.
60 more miles at least I was able to get some tubes.
Hurricane hada bike shop. At last I would complete the Honeymoon trail hopefully with out going to the end.
The road in AZ was text book cycle friendly. Lane, strip, rumble, shoulder. Nice touch is I could ride the white line if needed.
Utah around for 150 years and I get a two lane road and 150 years worth of traffic on the only road going into Utah from east.
I smelled death numerous of times. People don't understand if a cyclist blocking you they don't want to passed. Since you can't pass in the adjacent lane.
Keep in mind I can't nor semis or anyone wanting to travel speedy take SR 14 because of a tunnel. So 59 is the only road I can take. So AZ managed to do it why not Utah?
I traveled Utah's interstate 15 and that was much better. Nice wide 5 foot shoulder. Then going to 10 near Cedar city. 28 miles and 2000 feet. I would make 5000 feet again. I stopped by Zion park for a 5 mile 1200 climb. Sure to delight my senses. The picture "looking south" is where the main enterance. I was on the north end. Enterance fee $12 for bicycle. Or I usewd the pass. Nice pretty ride. I left my trailer and the centre.
Hurricane the shop was overwhelmed with bikes. After a phone call I was headed to Cedar city. I spent three days there. Outside the city 10 miles was a Dixie national. The middle day Monday I went in to get some food and see if my bike could be fixed. After that I went back to camp with my head down with my bike between my legs.
Cedar cycle would take the charge.
So w
100 miles later in a hotel room around the corner from my shop. I will gwt my bike back tommorow and head on my adventure.
Pipe springs on my way to hurricane I found the oasis in the desert. A fort ontop of thje springs that created two pools.
I am now on the Colorado Pleatu.
Things found on the road, action figures, patio umbrella, car door, and keys.
On Interstate 15 a trooper pulled over some - I got to take a lane of -I 15 I placed mu arm out look behind and took that lane as I passed the police and speeder. No looks as I passed and I kept on. The semi way behind took his foot off the accel. I can only image.
It was a text book pass from me.
