A day of rest and Snowed in

well the roads out of Cedar City were snowed in today. One of the roads is
still closed so we have to route around it. Luckily it does not add many
miles and it takes off some altitude.

While we were in town of course I went to see spider-man 3. More
importantly we discussed options for the mountains. I called and called
and called to see what we could do. Some of the options we considered
were, take a bus, rent a car, rent a uhaul, and fly out. Well every option
is expensive and most were inconvenient being we would would have to get to
another city to make it happen.

We setteled on Uhaul. We have it for 4 days now. The plan is for me to
bike as long and as hard as I can for 4 days and heather will sag for me.
We will get through as many miles as we can in 4 days. Whatever miles do
not get done will have to be done later in the year. The weather here is
crazy cold with snow all over the place. Who knows maybe I can get some
double centuries in while I am going through the mountains. My goal is to
get about 100 miles a day. Only time will tell how close I can get to that
goal. Heather will be comfortable in the Uhaul and safe as well so that is
a good thing.

We are adding one mail drop here because my brother has something he needs
to send me. So Alex, here is the address, we should be there in 6 days,
about.

If anyone wants to use this one then priority is probably the way to go
cause we will be there pretty soon. Going to sleep early tonight so I can
get up early and bike all day long. Big climb tomorrow of about 4000 feet,
hope it goes well. I will tell more in two days.
