All the experience I'm going to gain between the start of my new biking career and the time I go to Moab will be during 105 Mohave summer. I don't expect that will be much more than my daily 13 mile commute. But I'm not worried about what I will or won't be able to do when I get there. My 13 mile commute is pretty easy so my days around Moad won't be wasted even if I don't win any races. Surely I will start with something like your flat ride. My best day so far is 24 miles but I just got the bike and two weeks later summer hit. I bet that I will be able to double that, if I want, after a summer of commuting, especially when it is 30 degrees cooler outside. I can't wait.
Hey, I found my picture. It actually is digital already. Can anyone guesstimate where this is taken from and where I'm shooting to? Its not a great picture but my mind remembers how it really looked.
