Tour Divide Diary Day 30 24/07/16 It was only 149 miles to Moab and we got that done pretty early in the morning. There were yet more incredibly straight, incredibly tedious roads to drive, but once we were getting deeper into Utah the scenery started to get more interesting and we were both really excited…

So now it’s 2 for 12 on our bivvy a month for 2017, it’s going well so far. Big Si’s birthday was a good excuse to get out and maybe visit a public house on the way too. Decent weather and a couple of decent rides so all was good. I’m loving the DD superlight…
