Tour de South






This picture was taken at Calf Creek just outside Escalante, Utah. If you look closely you might notice the bowling ball that I carried with me under my shirt.




Last weekend we took quite the trip to Southern Utah with some cousins and friends of ours. My cousin TJ organized the event that will probably turn into an annual thing. There were nearly 20 people that joined in as we rode Fish Lake to Brianhead the first day (123 miles) then from Brianhead to Escalante (107 miles) and then the original plan was to go back to Fish Lake the third day (110 miles) but it had too many mountian passes so it turned into a 60 mile day instead. We rode through some amazing scenery. I told Jen that she is lucky that she gets to see such amazing scenery everyday at home (looking at me) but she insisted that the views of Bryce Canyon and other scenic spots were much better :( We both really enjoyed the hike to Calf Creek on the last day. It was a real desert oasis.




On our way home we stopped at Jen's sisters house to spend the night. Jen got to play with her nieces while I slept for a little over 12 hours straight. What can I say? I was pretty tired after riding a bike for 7 hours a day. This picture is of the cherry orchard by her sister's house. It was in full bloom and really pretty. People have also expressed interest in seeing Jen's new haircut. Here it is!



This is the video that I tried to put up with our last post. I posted it today mostly because I learned how to do it.
