Chere, did you do the ride in one day or multiple? Photo's of pedaling up Murphy's never do it justice. The hardest climb for me was up Hardscrabble. Probably because it was towards the end and I was beat.
We took four days to ride the rim. Hardscrabble is easier to ride then Murphy's but I rode hard to catch up to my group that day. I had stopped to check out the grainery and have lunch and was about 20 min behind them. I peddled as fast as I could to catch up and it was hot. So by the time I made it to Hardscrabble my legs were already spent. I still rode more of Hardscrabble than I did of Murphy's. Loved the downhill on both! However nothing compared to the last stretch on Mineral Bottom Road. My sit bones were so sore and I was ready for that ride to be over with. Even though it is a gradual uphill and all ride able it just went on F O R E V E R!!! Nothing I did made me comfortable on the bike. I cussed that last bit more than any other section of the ride.
Riding in Corner Canyon today. I think I found my favorite downhill section. Brocks point to canyon hollow to the dirt road to ghost falls to rush flow = Awesomeness

I still curse that EVIL sand on Mineral Bottom road!Quote:

I would have made Hardscrabble without stopping had it not been for a minivan and crazy driver who, while trying desperately to power up the road, forced me too far over to the edge and into the soft dirt. Who takes a minivan on White Rim?!
With the rain the day before we started and day of the sand was not bad. They detoured our support vehicles from Schaefer to Potash road for our start. Mud on the bike was awful!! But made riding the trail the next three days really nice.Quote:

I heard later that some of the girls were even flipping up their shirts, baring their chests, as encouragement. Sadly, I was so concentrated on getting to the top without stopping that my head was down and I didn't notice.
Um... sounds like you need to stop and smell the roses when your biking! :ne_nau:
While this a creative picture, I wouldn't dare put my xtr shifters under water. There are approximately 40 moving parts in each shifter that are nearly impossible to repair or lubricate and expensive to replace. For someone like Chere that can find a gear and just pedal it may not matter, but for me, I do a lot of shifting with my 49-1/2 lb. bike. :mrgreen:Quote:

A few pics from Monday's ride. Still playing with what the best format is to get the Strava or Garmin Connect data into the Bogley post. We'll try the Strava link to see if it works. For some reason I can't get the KML to export correctly out of Garmin then into Google earth and then imported into Google maps in order to embed here in the post. There has to be an easier way? Can't even attach the KML file since it's apparently too large.
On a side note I love the new Garmin Edge!

A nice ride really early Saturday morning to beat the heat. Started at 5:30 and finished at 9:30. Too long and it got way too hot after 8:30. Should have started 30 min earlier! In any case made my way to the spring, gorgeous up there.
