We left at about 6:45 AM again this morning after breakfast and luggage loading. Today was another long ride with final destination Salt Lake City Utah.
The temperature was 50 degrees partly sunny skies. It stayed cool in the 60’s all day.
This was our second century day with 117 miles to Salt Lake City. We rode past salt flats. It looked like a sea of water, stretching on far into the distance. The traffic got very busy near SLC (Salt Lake City) until we finally exited to a frontage road for the last 10 miles. Much of this was on the lake front.
We arrived at the hotel at 1:30 and were first to the laundry. This is the longest consecutive days of riding scheduled for the tour. We have ridden eleven straight days for a total of 862 miles and have crossed two states. Finally a day off!
I will clean my bike today, degrease and re-lube. I also plan to visit the downtown SLC and get some pictures of the Mormon tabernacle

Great job, Dad! You deserve a break. I'll try to call tonight some time.
19.6 miles on your second century in as many days is ridiculous.
Wow! Congratulations! Three Cheers, etc . . . . . for you and all your co-bikers. Were worried when we didn't see a blog from your yesterday, but all was cleared up after we talked with Pat, those darn Casinos all they want is your money. Glad you are getting a break today. You can start writing your book "Your Dreams Can come TRUE" by Jay Rohrer
Thanks again for allowing us to follow you on this great adventure. To bad you don't have a camera attached to your bike so we could ride down the highway with you. Keep up the good work and keep on biking.
Our best to Hetty an extra three cheers to her for not giving up.
Jay. Congratulations on back-to-back centuries. The Motion Based stats and map are a wonderful way to follow your journey. A 19.6 mph average on a century is great even with some help from the wind. Your body is going to love the day off. //Ron
Jay, after posting those scorching centuries, you might have a problem getting ordinary mortals to ride with you when you get back unless you promise to keep it on the little chainring! I'm sure it is a relief to have a day out of the saddle,and getting a chance to explore more deeply the awesome territory you are riding through. Any new riders come on board at Salt Lake?
