At least for awhile. The next week or so of biking will be dictated by services. Coming up I've got stretches of nothing that go on for 84, 63, 78, 68, and 65 miles. It's over tough terrain too (lots of 1,500' climbs). I'm looking forward to it just to have done it, but I sense I'll be sick of it after day 1. Hopefully the weather stays reasonable (low 90s).
Did the final 39 miles into Cedar City and I'll be resting tomorrow. Got lots of movies to catch :)
The descent coming down from 10,600' wasn't as good as I was hoping for. For the first half the road was being worked on and wasn't really pavement (small rocks) and there was a fair bit of traffic throughout. No biggie.
Met a German couple doing a tour going all over the place west of the Continental Divide (Seattle to San Diego, Grand Canyon, etc). They were quite nice.
Picture is from 10,500'. I got a panorama that I've got to put together when I get back (discovered the "Stitch Assist" functionality of my digital camera).
