For the first time in a few weeks I felt like this weekend was fairly open. We didn’t need to be anywhere for anything at any specific time, so I took advantage of that as much as possible. Dean and I got in an early ride on Saturday. He was on the road to my…

San Juan Huts Day 7 Into Moab!
One last night in the hut and today marked the final leg. 35 more miles and we’d be done. We were all ready for today, there was no doubt about it. I can’t describe or say enough about how awesome this trip was (yes Juston it was Epic!). However I was very glad to be…
San Juan Huts Day 6
Day 5 was a chance to chill out and let somebody else do the cooking. Day 6 was “only” supposed to be 20.8 miles long. It was also supposed to be over 5,000′ of climbing. The good news……it was just under 5,000′ per my Garmin, the bad news, it was almost 23 miles long, and…
San Juan Huts Day 4

San Juan Huts Day 3
