Elements of Erin 337

Brenda sent me a few more photos from our adventure in St. George, Utah last night so I thought I would share them.   You can see the whole album on Flickr HERE . Here are a few more of the highlights:  A bit blurry but you can tell the theme of the day is FUN! Typical road during the ride.  Rural and a bit bumpy but the view makes up for it Smile never left my face all day A fellow participant from Utah also stopped to admire the view and take our picture.   Utah is a very friendly state Last rest stop of 4 on the 100km route  Grabbing a Bonk Breaker from my back pocket In the last 5kms of the ride we took a turn on to the off road bike path.   This section of the bike path goes through a driving range.  FOUR! Post event Mexican Feast A walk in the water park in the centre of town to cool down the feet post ride Checking to see if I am tall enough to ride the Carousel at the park.  ...

No photos for this one. Trust me, it is for the best. All I could do was get my bike in the back of the Element and drive to McDonalds for some very salty fries after this ride. I actually felt great until about 80kms when I ran out of food and drinks. I should have stopped to pick up an extra bottle of sports drink on my route but didn't want to stop. Lesson learned. No major disaster, just felt really weak at the end of the ride. At least I was smart enough to leave a banana in the car for after. Happy Training!
