June 2006 - our annual 2 week mountain bike road trip. This year we decided to make a grand loop of the south-west. 2000+ miles of driving, revisiting a favorite trail in Utah, five days in Crested Butte, a ride in Durango, and one in Flagstaff.
We loaded up and headed out on Monday, June 19th. 510 miles from West Los Angeles to Panguitch, UT. We'd visited Panguitch and ridden trails in the Red Canyon area before, so it would be nice to return and ride Thunder Mountain. We had stayed at the Color Country Motel in Panguitch before, and knew that the owners used to live near where we do now. While speaking to them to book our room, they asked about the Tito's Tacos in Culver City, CA. We told them that it was still there, and as crowded as ever. They said that if, by chance, we could somehow bring some salsa and chips with us, they "might" be able to cut us a deal on the room. The night before we hit the road, we stood in line (at 10pm!) and got them what they asked for.
Tuesday the 20th we rode a favorite, Thunder Mountain in the Red Canyon area of SW Utah, just a few miles out of Panguitch.
