DAY 66

North Rim, Grand Canyon, Arizona to Kanab, Utah
It got super cold overnight, about -5, but our sleeping bags held up. We have to backtrack back to Kanab, which sucks, but it's all downhill and will only take one day this time, which is great. We average our fastest overall speed for the day, which at 23 km p/h (considering we're descending about 4500ft) shows what a snails pace it is riding fully loaded. Who cares though? Considering we've already ridden this road there isn't much to report, except for the gourmet hamburgers and locally renowned cookies we down at Jacobs Lake for lunch, and the 5th flat tyre we've had in 3 days, which although frustrating at least we've getting very good and quick at changing them. Back in Kanab we stay at Parry's Lodge, where John Wayne, Clint Eastwood, Gregory Peck, and a bunch of other Western Hollywood stars have stayed while filming in this beautiful part of the country.
