Day 6 and 7: Eureka, NV to Baker, NV and Baker, NV to Milford, UT
The final two days of Nevada were very similar. We rode through the same road - Nevada's Highway 50. There were no rest stops for miles, and the desert was dry and windy. Once we finally got to Utah, the surrounds were beautiful. We saw gorgeous snowy mountains and bodies of water. The guys were actually chased by cows! We arrived in the cute town of Milford, UT and were greeted by the friendly hotel staff.
Day 8: Milford, UT to Cedar City, UT
The ride from Milford to Cedar City was only about 50 miles but difficult and windy. The guys biked on a road through many farms. Denise and I were keeping our eyes peeled for dogs so that we could protect Nels and Nick if they were attacked. Once the guys got to Cedar Cycle they were interviewed by the local newspaper - the Iron County Today. Both Nels and Nick got new chains on their bikes at the shop.
Day 9: Cedar City, UT to Escalante, UT
Yesterday the guys biked about 120 miles to Escalante, UT. They rode through many hills and snow (on the ground). They also rode through the beautiful Bryce Canyon that had many climbs. There were many downhills; Nels and Nick got up to 40mph on his bike. The weather was chilly in the morning but heated up to about 80 once we got in the Canyon. While riding in the road through the Canyon, a police officer pulled Nels and Nick over and told them that they needed to ride on the bike path. We arrived in Escalante at about 4pm.
