Hot night in river valley. Sleeping better now that my neck is straightened.
Drove back into hurricane and out rt 59 to TH. Overcast, low 70s, windy. Almost perfect.
Loop links several trails together including part of the JEM trail I rode yesterday. Trail is in treeless desert, the rider is the tallest thing around. Trail twists & winds its way around gullies and washes, somewhat serpentine. The ride data as Google earth is on Page: Ride data. Narrow, mostly ST, few technical challenges other than staying on narrow hand cut bench trails. 20.72 miles & 2315′ lots of 100 to 200′ climbs.
Stopped @ shop in Hurricane and bought new pair of Eggbeater cleats; my left foot kept disengaging try a tech move. Small shop had them.
Drove to ST George to red Rock cycles where I bought the tire and map previously. I was searching for local data on their trails which I got. Have tomorrow’s ride figured out. And then head down to Bootleg Canyon beyond Vegas.
