Endless Utah

SIgnal, I almost grabbed a bench battery and hooked up my heated gear when I looked at those pictures! It's tough working a camera with cold hands. Thanks for your efforts in keeping this great thread alive.

Eat at "Big MOe's" in Price-

Utah is an amazing place to cycle. It is just endless with beauty and roads.

I agree

Thanks for hanging out

She said lets go , sunny about 55 degrees

Went north/west around Tremonton-


Hwy 89 somewhere in Dewyville


West of Tremonton






Just above ATK-




took a way less traveled home-






Nice couple hours

Cloudy, cooler- Good morning


Headed toward Promontory, some of the old railroad tracks






Around Promontory














Doubled back to the old RR trails around golden spike monument

Rounded golden Spike monument-
Love it when the gravel gets washed off








Road becomes single lane down the old RR cut/fill


Looking backward, east-ish


Happend to see this, right in the middle of the road (perhaps pushed up/uncovered during the winter)- just in time- missed it by about 3cm. Could have really ruined my day-
Irish or Chinese?? (sorry, didnt adjust the camera settings)










New sticker(s) from an excellent Secret Santa

Cool pics Signal. Thank you. You are encouraging me to see those wide-open spaces for myself. Keep 'em coming, please!

Hey Signal, Nice pictures there I think I recognize some of that terrain. Man we could have almost met, as I was riding the grade from the west. Sure glad you found that spike and not me

I was out there on Wed (25th), but stayed mostly toward the promontory/south loop- I didnt really get far west (saw your pics from Kelton and the graves there).

Finding (seeing) that spike was likey just luck, though one does try to watch the road . It did make me nervous and slow me down for a time.

Perhaps there is a need to plan a meet and greet overnight MRE fest- invite some guys from the east . Not much sound out there, just birds and wind.

MRE.. funny man. Well they have improved over the years. YUP just birds and wind, mostly the later.

They have indeed, I dont mind them- but have been relatively hard to find in the last few years- and at about the same cost as other dry bag meals

Excellent 65 degrees , rain the last couple days greened everything up

Hwy 39 toward Monte Cristo-

Pineview res- Now full




Green tunnels are forming


Still closed at the top - snow long gone


So back down a mile or so-


A right turn onto ANt Flat road to Hardware Ranch/Blacksmith Fork-






SOme washboard, some ruts, lots of mis-matched gravel-














At the top of Blacksmith Fork canyon-








Good stuff

Thanks all

Man I'm selling everything and moving to Utah.

You not the first to have that though and, I suspect, won't be the last.

Mike

My last day on the job down here in Vegas is June 1 and I'm out of the apartment by June 10

I'm Utah bound

Good time of year to get out of vegas

Oh yeah - Before it hits a hundred and twenty stupid again

I don't really mind the heat so much, but I am looking forward to a cooler climate, greenery, and lots of really great places to ride. I also know that my bike will actually still function on dirt and gravel roads

Lots of exciting changes, that's for sure

I'll be out here at the end of May. But sadly, only for two weeks.
