The riding in Flagstaff was spectacular! But unfortunately, Håvard had a really bad crash and was injured. The doctor told him to stay off his bike for six weeks. (this happened three and a half week ago) Since that, he has been spending his time in coffeshops and such. When I have been riding alone, or with locals.
After Flagstaff, we did a mandetory stop at Grand Canyon. A pretty big hole in the ground:) We ran our RV "Vidkun" pretty hard, and arrived in Moab the same day. Moab offered really cool riding. Lots of technical, long descents with challenging "goodies" on the way down. Everywhere one could meet cool people to ride with, and the small town was littered with nice shops and good coffe. Our stay in Moab lasted for three days. Then we headed east to Fruita. That place was really different in terms of riding. A really compact network of trails, surrounding a free campground with tables and steel fire rings for barbequing. Perfect for traveling bikers like us. But Fruita was really windy, and we wanted to head north towards Sun Valley. We arrived here on may 31st, and we´re still here. The riding is really good! And the scenery is stunning. That´s pretty much all there is to say about that..
On tuesday, I will drive Håvard to the airport in Salt Lake City, and he will jump on a plane to London. It`s sad that he is leaving. But it is for the best, since there is a limit for how much fun you can have when you are on a budget, and not able to ride your bike.
I will be heading north to BC and Whistler. Over two weeks earlier than I planned. Will be hooking up with fellow norwegian rider Trond Hindenes, who is currently traveling in BC. Also hoping to hook up with friends from Cumberland there.
The pics in this post is me and Håvard at Grand Canyon, and me, jumping at Porqupine Rim Trail in Moab.
