Our day of preparation didn't begin as we planned due to Ben's late arrival last night. Instead of beginning in Cedar City it began in Mesquite, NV. We arrived there after midnight last night. We enjoyed our free breakfast then began the journey to Zion National Park. It was awesome...again!

After Zion it was on to Cedar City to get ready for GTD Day 1.

We picked up supplies at Sports Authority, the Bike Route and Sunshine Health Food Store. After that we checked in at the KOA and reassembled our bikes. After that I had to return the rental car to the airport. The Cedar City Airport is so small that the only person there was one lady working in an office. I called a shuttle to return me to the KOA.

After putting the bikes together we set up camp and then biked up the road to enjoy the Chinese Buffet. It was uphill and windy. After dinner their was a community concert in the park. Very cool to see the community come out to relax and enjoy some good music. Now we are organizing, charging phones and getting ready to settle in. We anticipate waking up around 5:30am for breakfast and to break down camp. After that we will bike to Starbucks and Wal Mart before heading off to Panaca.

It's beautiful out here. Getting a bit chilly tonight (around 40). We are excited and nervous about tomorrow's ride. It will be around 85 miles to Cathedral Gorge State Park in Panaca, NV.
