Today the members of the volleyball team at home started their first practise and I couldn't resist to tease them a little and send a text message, wishing them good luck being sore!
Today US 89 was our route again, this time going south as this is the main direction of our trip.
After the 2nd mile, Sofie was already 500 meters ahead of me. Suddenly three young men on bicycles passed me and I decided to draft them... We flew by Sofie who was too amazed too jump on the train. Almost in Mt. Pleasant (again the mountain!) I let them go and waited for Sofie. This town is rather big - it even has a Family Dollar which we had to check out: they still sell the same goods, but at least the shop was arranged somewhat different.
The roadsurface to Ephraim, a college town, was chipsealed. We had another Mc. Donalds event in this town: I went for the coke float while Sofie chose the Mc. Flurry with m&m's.
The ride to Manti was easy for me, altough the heat was building and the air became hot. I heard some yelling in Manti and noticed a swimming pool! That looked like fun, I thought, until Sofie joined me. She had a fight with the Mc. Flurry along the road and didn't feel that well. A cool room helped. And instead of going swimming in nice cold water, we trotted to the laundromat, where it's usually hot.
The valley we cycled through today is known for Mormon Pioneer towns. Manti even has a big white tabernacle towering on a hill.
That evening we updated our adventures with NCIS, on TV.
