The Trip
BBGQ, otherwise known as the Backroads Tour, with Epic Biking, of the Canyons, in Inns. Translation: Massive riding, up to 133 miles! But comfortable Inn beds! Oh baby.
The crew were great, Jere Carroll and Matt Petric, supported by Carol Liu and Mark Selcon.
The cast were myself, Bob, Kevin, Diane, Jen, Austin, and Gupreet. Bob, the 6'7 beast from Chi-town. Kevin, the Terminator from New York. Diane, the suprising SCIFI and Celine fan. Jen, our New Yorker kinder-admissions specialist. Austin, Shakespeare company master. And last but not least Gupreet, our doctor/biz wiz with an appreciation of the excess synthetic estrogen in the food supply. We had fun.
We started in Brian's head, outside of Cedar Falls. We then rode to Bryce Canyon, then rode the the Grand Canyon North Rim, then rode to Zion Canyon. Each park had a day to hike, shoot, relax, eat, and enjoy ourselves. The riding days were stacked, 67 miles, 81, 100, 133.4, The Whopper. Support was great, and all levels felt good, and did as much as was still fun. I can't say 133 was "fun" exactly, but REALLY DAMN SATISFYING!
Other highlights including scaling Brian's Head alone, and glissading down the snowfield, our scavenger hunt, the smoke filled Grand Canyon at night, and the lightning storm which sealed the trip. All in all great fun.
Now back to work, I drive to Jackson tomorrow.
I'll post more about the trip soon. Jamama
