Awww Monday and The Third and Last day of the Bicycle Race! September 13, 2021

Thanks Sandee for Awww Mondays! 
And many thanks to our awesome friends who included us 
in their adventurous 3 Day 500 Mile Bicycle race! 
What a ride!

 

Well, I am back on my own driving from Panquitch Utah back to St George Utah! I chose to take the scenic route rather then hooking up to I-15 and zooming down the freeway. 
So I ambled south down on 143, stopped at Panguitch Lake and went past a skiing mountain area Brian Head elevation 11,299 feet before turning south to go down on 148 past Cedar Breaks National Monument. 


I made a few stops along the way- to take in the majestic views. 


Eventually I made my way back to the I-15 freeway and made good time getting back to St George Utah and was able to check back in early at the very nice Best Western  Abbey Inn.
Got settled and then went to the pool area to swim and read .
I eventually got a bit hungry and after looking a bit online I chose to go to Georges Corner Restaurant !!  WOW- delicious !!  I definitely would go back for more yummy food!     
Unfortunately we all were not able to get in there for dinner so we chose a not so great place Texas Roadhouse and all I will say is DO NOT EAT THERE. Noisy, crowded and marginal food.
But it was fun to celebrate 
The Three Day 500 Mile Bicycle Race!
Here are two of our good friends coming in to the finish line!



I even managed to capture their finish time!
The next day we all packed up our cars and began the 3 day odyssey back to our homes! What an adventure!
Tomorrow I will wrap up this fun time with a few adventures Russell and I had on our 3 day drive home!
Cheers and have a lovely day!
