Zion NP, Utah for sure! There are beautiful natural arches, canyons and waterfalls. Lots to see while dayhiking, no need to hike multiple days between sights. I'm definitely checking it out in October. Otherwise, Yellowstone is obviously amazing, plus you could get a beer with [MENTION=327525]bro[/MENTION].

Went to go watch some bikes go around in circles tonight. Pretty rad

+1 Utah. Check in at Moab and you've got Canyonlands and Arches nearby. Drive across on 75 for the most incredible desert scenery (make sure your tank is filled up), then north to Provo to get in the mountains.

One thing about Utah though... getting a beer there can be a project in itself.

Zion National Park
Monument Valley
Bryce Canyon

All have insane natural beauty. Bring a zillion batteries for your camera.

Great at to hear ! Is that one way or total. Which bike did you use?

Best part of my morning besides coffee time is ride time to work.

Today I rode my Pista Concept on the road in a 46 x 15 and didn't die. It was kinda fun to go fast on downhills w/o spinning out.

Thanks guys. I booked a trip for Utah. I just need to plan out where to start. I am going to do some AirBNB depending on the location since its just going to be me.

We managed to find this in a little restaurant just outside Capitol Reef National Park:

As is says on the bottle, "why have just one?"

Today I managed to lock myself out of my place.

Apartment or house ? I have a complicated but safe way to prevent this from happening.

Higher Class 04-30-15 08:03 PM

First day back on a bike after over a week of being out of town, flatting out of the group ride (they do not wait), and then being sick with a cold. Took the track bike out since the roadie still had a flat. I spun 42/14 down the mostly flat 32 mile rail-trail, got 2 KOMs on the stravas and made it back in time to meet my SO for dinner/drinks. Stoked on bicycles again.

House. I got it resolved though.

Sherblock 04-30-15 08:12 PM

Last day of classes tomorrow! And then a 3-day campus wide party. Which'll be nice, before I have to start preparing for finals.

Muffin Man 04-30-15 08:38 PM

That is one way. I live in the burbs and work downtown so 15 miles to work and another 15 back. I was on my new Wabi Classic that I just got in earlier in the week. The ride in was definitely refreshing, the afternoon slightly less so due to much heavier traffic.

^ I rode my SS hardtail MTB to work today on the off chance I can get off early to join that ride. But it's not looking like I'll be able to either :(

Unkle Rico 05-01-15 11:39 AM

Haha, usually a bulletproof plan buuuuut I'm just gonna be honest about it and hope for the best. Only tricky part is that I need to get a semi-important meeting rescheduled first.

jlafitte 05-01-15 06:00 PM

Yep, honesty is just easier. Always the chance of getting caught, then what you gonna do.
