I hit a bit of a landmark today!
I passed the 1,000 mile mark, that's 25% of this bike ride complete!
I have beaten the Nevada desert, Sierra Mountains, the Wasatch Mountains and some searing temperatures in California.
I have 570 miles to go until the Rockies are behind me.
I'm currently in Hanksville, Utah, marked out by the quarter on the maps below.
Looking over the last 20 days I have to say things have in the main, gone really well. I have been quite lucky with the weather, my legs are still going and I'm mentally prepared for more! Fingers crossed it stays that way!
Today I covered 49 miles and was finished with riding by 12.00, giving good time to relax and prepare for the next step.
It was a great day and I was only pedalling for about 3.5 hours.
The weather was perfect, scenery continued to amaze (see pictures) and the altitude dropped about 2,000 ft from start to finish, without any notable uphills.
I wish every day was that easy.
I would say the last 2 days of riding have been the most spectacular I have experienced. If anyone is trying to choose a scenic a route to bike/camp/hike you really should come here if you can.
