A very satisfying cycling weekend. Today did 55 miles through the rather desolate Rush Valley. A triangular loop around the Tooele Army Depot. The last part included a part of the Pony Express route. And other than the pavement, I think it probably still looks pretty much like it did back then (I was imagining hearing the thundering hooves - unfortunately it was big ol' RV's pulling trailers with ATB's).

The first 10 miles of the ride I thought I had made a big mistake as I felt VERRRRY sluggish after doing 72 miles of the Salt Lake Century yesterday. But I found my legs and had some very nice club riding companions who didn't mind my sluggish pace. And the sag support today was wonderful. There were absolutely no services along the way (basically all desert) and the sag wagon kept us supplied with ice, water, and the most wonderful oranges ever.

I'm ready to tackle LRRH!
