One of the most beautiful roads I’ve cycled has to be highway 12 in Utah. From Torrey to Zion National Park, passing via Calf Creek Falls, Bryce Canyon and Red…
She didn’t call us crazy! I could barely remember another time in the US when, having seen our bikes or telling people what we’re doing (which is riding bikes…just quite…
Southwest Utah is stunning. Wonders of nature abound. Wind and water have worked together over millennia to carve a country of deep canyons, creeks and citadel-style rock formations that compel…
Glad to be leaving Las Vegas, it was a dull day down the interstate to the California border. From there, we cycled through the Mohave desert, crossed old Route 66…
First we followed a bike path from Bryce Canyon, running along highway 12 through the Red Canyon. From there it was through a relatively lowvalley and on to Zion National…

The great thing about Zion NP is that you can cycle through some of the amazing scenery. We entered through the east gate and cycled to the junction and up…

Already it feels like a trip of two halves. Before Boise. And after. This is how the second part of the trip is shaping up. 680km and 10 days since…
Four days cycling from Boise and we have arrived in Elko, Nevada. In between there is not very much. Well, not much in the way of towns or shops. But…
The Spray Lake trail is a quiet gravel road. It winds upwards from Canmore and then follows the lake. With graphite grey mountain ridges slanting above the evergreen and turning-yellow…
