Trip Report Tour De St. George

I know this is a bit delayed but I wanted to share my experience anyway. I participated in the 2012 Fall Tour De St. George, this was my first 100 mile ride. The weather was outstanding and the scenery was a 10 for the first 50 miles and an 8+ for the remainder. My brother-in-law, who is an experienced Iron Man Triathelete, rode with me. It was nice to have the company, and he was great help along the way.

On a side note, the day before the ride we all went out to Snow Canyon State Park. Were were playing on the sand dunes just a couple hundred yards from where the teenage girl got buried in the sand less than an hour before it happened. We had left, gone on a little hike in a wash, and when we came back there were paramedics and police surrounding the place. I feel so bad for that family!
