Another RRAMU in the books

Day 1
9 hours in the Saddle
147 Miles, 3700 ft of climbing
Todd joins us for some early miles today. Adam bails at Levan, the wind is punishing everyone.
Day 2
8 hours of riding
105 miles, 6700 ft of climbing
We got a late start. Gordy joined us today. We ran out of sunlight as we entered Cedar Breaks and luckily my good pal Rich come up from St George and drove us down the canyon to Cedar City. Absolutely amazing ride from Panguitch to Cedar Breaks! The road tops out at 10,600 ft!!
Day 3
4.5 hours in the saddle
80 miles with 2647 climbing and 5300 descending to St George. Today we lose Kevin a few miles in but have Rich to help pull.
The wind was a menace all 3 days, either in our face or at our side. It made for a very hard ride. Only Scott and I completed the whole thing. Not sure if the RRAMU is on the calendar for next year. 300+ miles in 3 days with 20+ pounds of gear is no easy task, add the wind and it's near impossible

Great pic at Mtn Meadow. Did I take that? I Had a great time. It was fun seeing the anguish on your face as you were climbing Cedar. Glad I could support!! I had a great time riding from Cedar to SG!!
