Bicycle Touring The World: Provo to Duchesne, Utah, USA
My latest bicycle touring around the world update, cycling across the USA through Utah. Provo to Duchesne. 98 miles. A lovely ride up through Provo Canyon first thing this morning. Provo Canyon was very picturesque, with its rocky peaks, blue skies and the last remnants of snow. It’s nice to be back cycling after my unscheduled stop.
The rocky peaks gave way to lush green rolling hills, which in turn gave way to rocky scrubland. It’s one of the reasons I’m enjoying myself here. The countryside completely changes in one day.
This morning was fairly hard cycling, heading up through Provo Canyon, but the scenery more than made up for it. And consequently, this afternoon, I’ve had a lot of downhills.
What a funny motel tonight. It reminds me of Le Mont St Michel in France, but without the steps! The reception is in a different part of town to the rooms. The rooms are all spread out around the town.
I had supper in the local bar, which is always good. But I just can’t get used to being able to sit at the bar and eat a proper meal with a knife and fork. It’s just not something that we do back home, but I’m sure I’ll get used to it before I leave the US!
