Well, sorry for the delay in posting after the last couple of days with no cell or internet service (I won't say which plan I'm on). Speaking of the Torrey to Escalcante ride, the climb out of Torrey was brutal, but once I got over the top, it was spectacular. It was about 15 miles downhill going 30-35 mph to the town of Boulder with a couple of short climbs out to the top of the Grand Staircase National Monument. At one point the descent is 14%. I hit 49.5 mph on that one--the fastest I've ever gone on the bike.
Escalante to Panguitch was painful in the fact that I was not fully recovered by the morning, so I did not enjoy that leg much. I have an extra rest day in Panguitch because of a scheduling conflict with my support driver.
I need to thank my friend Jeff Graceffa for his support over the last week, both as the SAG DRIVER and for being a great support. Plus, he paid for a majority of the expenses while he was here. Please visit his restaurant, if you ever find yourself in Crested Butte, Colorado. The Secret Stash is a great place to grab a bite and relax a bit.
Joe
