An uneventful day

It's already August!
Our ride today took us, this sunday morning, through Santaquin. They were celebrating something over there, 'cause some of the floats of the parade in Salt Lake City had passed us and people were sitting on their lawn chairs as we cycled by. We did the special parade hand wave to the people.
Santaquin is getting bigger every year - you now find horse corals surrounded by new houses. It looks a bit sad to see the horses near buildings.
Our route parallelled the Interstate going to St. George, which was the reason there was hardly any traffic.
Along the road we saw some fruit orchards and later on a lavender farm. In the small town of Mona, just in front of Mt. Nebo, there is a place where you can eat ice cream or have a coke float. From there on my Sweet Machine started to make some noise again. As we reached Nephi, my right pedal was really doing funny things. So while Sofie cooled of in the pool, I cleaned my Sweet Machine, took of the pedals, put them back on, cycled to a hardware store where they sold some pedals for 6 dollars and changed the one I thought was broken. With some ties I managed to put the clip back on. Tomorrow will be the test: is it only the pedal or is something else wrong?
