Off to St. George, UT

I went to the show for a couple of hours to meet with Kent. Purpose was to talk about the modifications to the seatpost design for carbon railed seats. Ended up wandering around to show each other what we thought was cool at the show - an absolute hoot!!

Had coffee with a friend that I went to college with and then time to leave Sin City.

A two hour drive from Sin City is the southern Utah city of St. George. A fast growing community of mostly retirees and Mormons (think Warren Jeffs) among some beautiful mountains near Zion Canyon. We knew it was going to be good when we spotted this sign across from our hotel:



We decided to pick up the bikes before the shop closed Friday evening. Once there, we decided to go on a short ride on a local trail to shake our legs out. We headed for Bear Claw Poppy trail just outside of town. Once again, GPS and map issues delayed our arrival at the trail, but not too bad. Here are the opening bike adventure photos:

The sunset as I was getting back to the car:


The day ended with dinner at Two Fat Guys Pizza. Not great, but pretty darned good. It was a very good day!
