Also, the butter avocados in Hawaii are AMAZING. Delicious. Even my hubby who dislikes avocados and quacamole loved the quac we made with those. And apple bananas – there isn’t a better banana out there! Wish I could get them here! Last place we stayed on Kauai, we had access to their tangelo, regular avocado, banana, and starfruit trees. YUM!

But what really struck me is that there isn’t one of them that I’d say that I could commit to for the rest of my life if I had to choose…I’d choose none-of-the-above. I’m convinced, especially after seeing your rides, that there’s so much more (and better) routes out there! I don’t think I’ve ever had to climb for 2 hours straight to get to the top of anything. I’ve never spent more than 13 minutes descending anything. I usually have to jockey with cars to claim my space, and I very rarely zone out because I’m usually fighting a cross wind.

One of the reasons I love riding though is that there is always the possibility of a new, and near perfect, ride on the near horizon. It’s the near infinite possibilities that lights a fire in my belly…not the rides done a thousand times.

Thanks for posting – that looks like a killer trail.

I’ve only ridden in Utah once, back in ‘93. Gotta ride there again.

1. Goldbar Variations (37)

2. Guacamole (34)

3. Tibble (31)

This is a purely mathematical evaluation. I’m basing this list on the “twitterpation factor” in which 3x+7=y, where x is the twitterpation factor and y is the sum total.

Seems like a ’sunset’ shot to me. Is Paul Guyot ready?

Refreshing. Very.
