Leg 5. 7.4 miles on gravel road up Avon Pass. Felt great and very thankful for the cooler weather. Handed off to my son Rick who did great on the slide down into the Ogden Valley.

8:30 p.m.

Leg 19. 4.2 miles in 31:44 heading out of Morgan. Pushed pretty good. Rick handled the long uphill climb on the next leg into East Canyon Reservoir very well.
