Day One - Salt Lake City UTAH
to Ogden UTAH
The time had finally come to begin our massive journey. It was pretty nerve racking: how would the bikes handle with the load, how would we go with directions and how would we go riding on the wrong side of the road, how would we handle the traffic, how would we handle the stifling 35 degree heat!?
We had to wait a while to find out.
At the very first pedal stroke of the trip, CLANG! Ada's pedal had fallen straight off. Unbelievable. An omen perhaps? We called Mark and luckily for us he picked us up, took us to his shop (which was closed) and fixed the broken thread.
He then rode with us to a bike path which would bypass a large section of trafficked highway, and we were belatedly away!
In a nutshell we made it to Ogden along busy, heat-hazed roads, pretty drained emotionally and physically, but happy to be in the swing of things.
