Memorial Biking

For Memorial Day

We Loaded up the bikes and drove down to Moab!

 

I love road trips.  It makes for great talking time and great memories.

 

We set up camp with two cots, a small fire and some sleeping bags.  I found out later that night however that it wasn't nearly enough.  My toes were freezing all night long and I spent half the night trying to warm up.

 

Garrett had a bright idea to make homemade sushi, then pack it up and eat it for our camp dinner.  He thought it was great.  Me?  Not so much.  I prefer my sushi fresh.  But good try.

The next morning we geared up for what would be a 30 mile ride.  Half the ride was up a paved mountain, 100% uphill.  I actually enjoyed that part a lot.  It was challenging, but it was somehow relaxing too.

 

The main thing to see was Gemini Bridges, which was really cool.  Natural bridges are like arches, but thicker so we were able to walk on them. 

 

It was awesome.  Look how high up the cliffs were!

 

When you are on high ledges, do you ever picture yourself jumping off?  I do.  So does Garrett.  Is that weird?  It makes me dizzy.

 

 

We thought this rock mountain thing was pretty cool.

 

It was a good trip.  We'll definitely do that more often.
