Day 18 Cedar City Utah

Ok, Cedar City Utah was not my first choice of stops, but it just happened to work out that way….the clouds were looming this morn  and it had rained a bit last nite. I had planned to head northwest on route 89 to a road called Cottonwood Canyon Rd., this is a backroad in the Glen Canyon National Forest which ends at Cannonville and from there I would pass through Bryce Canyon onto Cedar City…well, that was the plan…checking out, I mentioned that I was going through Cottonwood Canyon Rd, the girl at the front suddenly had a weird look on her face and said “you’re on a motorcycle???” I told her I was, but it was capable to go off road…well her look changed to a sarcastic grin and said that it definitey wasn’t a good idea to go through that road with anything but a hardcore 4wd machine, especially after it had just rained…well that threw my plans for a loop…off to plan B. I had heard about a ride through Mexican Hat (yup, that’s a name of a town) and around the north side of  Glen Canyon Park, then south down the west side to Bryce Canyon. I mapped it out on Google and it showed about a 6hr trip plus two hours to get to Mexican Hat (starting point) and 2 hrs from Bryce Canyon to Cedar City, so basically about 10hrs riding plus stops…checked out, I started heading east for plan B….just out of Page, those dam winds started up again!! I don’t know if it is just because of the time of year (springtime??) or if it was alway like that year round but curse those winds…if you ever need an upper body workout, just ride a motorcycle through those kinda crosswinds and your abs, arms and neck will get tested….luckily it only lasted till Mexican Hat (2 hrs later), then it was smooth sailing (sort of)…I gotta tell you that over this ride I experienced all four seasons, started in the desert with the heat of the summer, started climbing in elevation and got the rains of spring, the hail of fall started with the thunder clouds above me, then the bitter cold of winter with blowing snow in Bryce Canyon…..

to tell ya the truth, not sure where this was....but it looked good...

Climbing in elevation after Mexican Hat, there was about a mile of gravel switch backs with cliffs on one side...lotsa fun!!

Clouds looming....this might have been where the rain started...

It's hard to tell, but it is snowing here...and dam cold!!!! took this pic while riding with one hand, camera in the other...probably not the smartest thing to do when snowing, but i have never been known to be smartest guy....

Up at the summit...9800 ft...gettin more snow and colder!!!burrrr!!!!

Once again, I have a lot more pics and if ya wanna see’em, bring over a few cases of beer (and maybe some vodka) and we’re good to go……The snow thing was what bothered me the most…who wudda thot???…but it is high in elevation and the locals said although it’s not normal, it does happen…oh well, I made it through without crashing (I actually had a jeep following me, so if I did dump, hopefully they would help me pick it up)….ended the day at Cedar City and hunkered down with a pizza at the Best Western (took me a while to find that cause of the GPS was messing up on me again and sent me 10 miles too far…), it was a long day, but the ride was well worth it and I would definitely do it again ( but maybe in the middle of summer).
