So.... after my 3:00 a.m. hike I decided to meet up with my buddy Shelby and some other guys for his birthday bike ride. They were already more than half way through when I got to them and we did the final climb up squaw peak. I snuck this picture of him as he was bonking hard. He has been putting in a lot of time on the bike and is becoming a really strong rider. This ride wiped out all the energy I had left for the day and I went home and crashed. I slept for hours.
With all the final days of my summer being consumed by my wonderful internship and Lake Powell I was unable to spend as much time on my bike as I probably should have. So on Saturday a group of us rode the Alpine Loop. We went up and over to Highland and grabbed some grub at the Subway before turning around and going back over for a second time. I cut my ride a little short though, I was hoping to ride closer to 120 miles. I didn't even clear 80. Oops.
