Tuesday, May 24 - American Fork to Manti
88.1 miles - 2,777 ft climbingSo we started the day by taking the 6:53am train from American Fork to Provo.
Then we rode to Springville and hit the McDonalds before the long ride. We found the nicest public restroom in bikedom at the park in Benjamin.
We continued South through Santquin where the wind picked up and never relinted for the rest of the day.
This section was nice.
The worst section of road was from Moroni to Ephraim. I give it a D- for bike friendly. It is also where the wind was worst, so we rode it at 5 mph against a 20 mph wind. We were so disapointed in the roads in San Pete county, that we called all bad shoulders from this point forward "San Pete Shoulders".
We finally made it to Manti after 9 hours of saddle time, 11 hours total elapsed time.
