All good things must come to an end, sadly … We had a leisurely, made-to-order omelette breakfast, packed up and hit the road for a promised “fast” 27 miles out to our pick up location. Despite a couple hills where I decided that walking was a faster option, it WAS fast. So fast, in fact that we arrived over an hour before our pick-up time! After a nice lunch, we loaded our bikes and headed about two hours back to Green River.

All in all, Joel logged in about 80 miles over the four days and I was closer to 70. The roads were 4WD and then 2WD on the last day and the only real challenge was the sand that we had in some places. Really tough to ride in sand and counterintuitive not to “over correct.” We had a great time and the group dynamics worked very well – it seemed like the smaller group of six clients and two guides really “meshed.”

Already looking at the calendar for next year! Should we trade in our road bikes for mountain bikes???HMMM
