Miles Completed Today: 60
Total Miles Completed: 880
Miles To Go: 2820
The bike shop worked late into the evening yesterday to build Pat's new wheel, so we picked it up at 9:00 AM today, and they hit the road at 10:00 AM out of Cedar City, UT. It will be a tough start as they begin with a four thousand foot climb over 26 miles. They will head out on route 14 and then make their way towards Bryce Canyon National Park about 75 miles from Cedar City.
Update: Sean and Pat rode into Panguitch, UT around 5:00 PM after reaching a 10,500 foot summit earlier in the day. We decided to stay in Panguitch and have dinner with the "Connecticut team" and the "Swedish team". They both started today in Cedar City and have been playing leapfrog with Pat and Sean. The climb up today was on a very tight road and in some places was underneath shear cliffs that hung over the road. Utah's colors shone again today as the foothills started in rocks like red clay and then turned to volcano rock black at the summit just before the guys hit the first of several alpine meadows. Tomorrow we will swing through Bryce Canyon National Park, which is supposed to be one of Utah's crown jewels.

My mom actually remembers driving that mountain. She said it was horrible or steep or something, and that was in the car!! Wow! Good Luck!!
Hey guys! Hope you're having fun! Great pictures, by the way.
Everything looks good for you guys. Hang in there.
Hey Pat - good talking to you yesterday (and remember what I said about those Mormons). Tahoe fire is all over the news and front page in today's Daily Star. You guys made it through just in time.
Looking forward to pics from Bryce and Zion.
You are in some beautiful country! Bryce Canyon and Zion are two of my favorites. Don't know how you are making those hills tho... Legs of Titanium?? I'm jealous.
Sean - What do three fingers mean?? I'm guessing "peace" + "We're number 1" Hahahaaa.
Hang tough! We're rootin and tootin for you.
Big Smiles. Love, Jennine
For those of you who visit Pat & Sean's site --- great big THANK YOU for all of your support to these two very ambitious fellas.
For those of you who don't know why the guys are holding up various fingers - it's their way of counting the day that they're on during their trip.
So glad to hear from you Sean! So pleased your wheel was able to get fixed Pat!
Be Safe & Have Fun! xoxoxox
