Right from the start we started with singing our national anthem. Without eating breakfast we hit the road... and that was some kind of road. It seems that a lot of roads we are cycling one have to be resurfaced. This one also and again there was gravel on the road. The speeding advice to cars was 20 mph but that was only an advice given. Well, we got the advice to cycle in the middle of the road, between two rows of red tons. This went on for 6 miles - making it kind of weird for us to be in the middle but having no traffic there, since cars were not allowed there. Mile by mile we came closer to Ogden where breakfast was. And what a breakfast! IHOP is such a feast - you should ask Sofie! She ate 4 (!!!!) chocolate chips pancakes. Anyone knowing the pancakes in America can figure out how devilish this is! After filling our stomachs I told her we had some climbing to do now... just kidding! Anyways, I towed Sofie through Ogden and all the small suburbs like Centerville and Sunnyside... into Layton. Along the road we had to stop at K-mart and Wal-mart.
We still had plenty of time that afternoon to go shopping in the Mall of Layton, to browse the bookstore Barnes and Noble. The big finale of the day came when dinner was served in the Golden Corral. This is an all you can eat joint and boy... did we eat: salads, mashed potatoes (the best!) veggies, chicken, and desserts. My stomach was twice as big as before.
I guess cyclists need two things: a good place to sleep and lots of food...
