Cedar City Utah

We left again early in the morning before 5:00 am, to beat the wind. Fortunately, just across the way was an old fashioned diner that was open 24/7. Equipped with coffee and breakfast we headed out on our journey. We had a relatively easy ride of just 54 miles to Cedar City, Utah. Due to the proximity of multiple world renowned national parks we have modified our route to allow us to visit them, albeit shortly, for a period of time. W plan on stopping by Zion and Bryce, both of which are touted at every availability by the populace and billboards which command attention along the highways. The weather here is hot and dry, although Utah clearly has a lot more green than Nevada. the mountainsides are composed of verdent greens which are a stark contrast to Nevada's comtinual shades of brown which seeming roll on endlessly throught thie valleys and mountains with which we have become so familiar. The canyons are more striking because of the green junipers, and long grasses. The contrat between the red cliff walls and green shrubbery evokes a feeling of awe within the mind, especially with the knowledge that this only happens here. The wind is still very strong here, making biking a challenge. From Milford to Car City the wind seems to penetrate all manner of life, nary a moment goes by without the trees and grasses being buffeted.
