Short update

Still in SLC.  Been riding each day and it's kickin my butt.  In Peoria a ride is usually only 5-7 miles and not much in the way of hills.  Out here you start your ride by climbing up a mountain (not walking, but riding) and that is anywhere from 2 to 6 miles of uphill terror.  From that point you actually start the fun stuff.  I have been struggling to recover from each day's ride, so every day it's been harder and harder for me, and that doesn't include the altitude difference.  
Today we rode in Park City which is a beautiful town just 20min east of SLC.  The ride was a bit more mellow on the climb which was nice, but the rest was flat out fast.  By far the fastest single track I've ever ridden and way cool.  I did have my first fall today and even nicked the bike up a bit : ( along with some cuts and bruises on my right side which took the hit on some rocks.  That's riding for ya though.
Supposed to head down to Moab in a couple of days so I'm taking a few days off from anything crazy to hopefully get back to 100%.  
Few new pics on my site...see above post on how to find those.
