After a long day we finally got our bikes from FEDEX, did our shopping and had time to do a checkout ride on the climb to Snowbird. There was rain threatening be we were determined o get a ride in. About 3+ miles in the climb went from 6% ish to 9-11% ish. I decided to shift into the smaller chain ring. No problems until I wanted to go back to the big chain ring and things didn't work. That bummed me out and when coupled with the altitude, heat and no sleep last night, I decided to turn around when I saw Paul heading down so I could fix my bike. A great descent which I experimented with my GOPRO. I think my bike is now fixed and we'll see tomorrow.

 

 

 

The condo we rented isn't as nice as some of the ones we did in the past, but it's still a pretty good deal and the location is great.
