A quick "suggestion" about breakfast in Moab
Red Cliffs Lodge, Moab, Utah....sweet eve for a party with friends
Fortunately, I was asked by the Johnsons, Dave and Becky, to provide musical entertainment at their rehearsal dinner at the Red Cliffs Lodge just upriver from Moab last night. I had driven by this place many times over the years and always wanted to check it out. Last eve was the opportunity and it did not disappoint. What an awesome evening with awesome friends in an awesome setting for a rehearsal dinner
Sick views, bluebird skies in Moab
Just one of millions of spires and towers in the Moab area
And of course with temps above 100 degrees during the day, I needed a quick morning ride before heading out of town, so I opted for my pre-ride of the 24 hour course at 7am to beat the heat. Alot of surprises out there. The early season rain has scoured the course, it's fast and firm most of the way now, and there are big signs of erosion in spots you did not have them previously. Almost the entire descent back into the start area on the road is down to the hard pack due to all the sand having washed away, it's bizarre, and it's fast. Keep your fingers crossed for low winds between now and race day, not likely.....
Slip your rear tire climbing this and you will pay
Things look alot different out there being scoured by rain, The Nose Dive
If you've raced the course, you probably have never looked up to see this archway in the bluff rock, there is another on the back side as well.
Prepping the room for hot laps...
A New Olympic Record, it was just a matter of time...
