Day 17: To Duchesne, UT 90 miles

This morning was chilly but as you can imagine, it quickly warmed up. The ride was pretty tough since we were given a very limited amount of time. We really had to right hard to make it to lodging in time. Then it didn't help that we had 6 flat tires in our group! I had one and noticed that my rear tire was completely shot. I put a new tube in and luckily it got me through the day. The original tires made it over 1700 miles which is pretty good for a rear tire. Anyway, to the left is a scene not too far from Park City and was taken right alongside the road. As you can tell, it was a gorgeous ride. Once we got to Duchesne we went to Starvation Lake where a bunch of local men took us out boating for the afternoon. I had a great time tubing with Woodmansee and Dan Mulch. The water felt amazing with the air temperatures well into the 90s, maybe breaking triple digits for part of the day. Following the good times on the water we had a delicious home-cooked meal at the local park. The Lions club cooked us some great food and were very friendly.
