Wednesday, September 10 - TORREY - ESCALANTE - After breakfast in the Wonderland Inn restaurant, cyclists will ride about 33 miles to Boulder (or 41 miles if they take the Teasdale loop). 14 miles up to almost the top of Boulder Mountain is a rest stop with a spectacular view of as much territory as the State of Rhode Island. As you are coming into Boulder, LAGBRAUers will stop for lunch at the Anasazi Indian Museum State Park where they will gain a sense of appreciation for the history of the area and see some more ancient Indian ruins. After lunch, riders will proceed to the famous Hogs Back ridge overlooking the Escalante Grand Staircase National Monument before decending to Calf Creek Falls campground 12 miles away from Boulder. Cyclists are encouraged to hike 3 miles flat to the Calf Creek Falls for a dip in the pool at the base of the Calf Creek Falls and a little beach time on the beach surrounding that pool. Plan on about 3 hours. From the Calf Creek Campground it is about 28 miles to Escalante where lodging is available at the Prospector Inn with reservations and camping will be provided. Wednesday's ride is 58.1 miles with some significant climbs over Boulder Mountain and out of Calf Creek and some serious descending into the Calf Creek area with grades up to 14 % that must be taken slowly and with caution for cyclists to be safe.

From the entrance of the park, it is about 24 miles to Panguitch where we will camp at the city park on the opposite end of town. This part of the ride includes several miles on a bike path thru the scenic Red Canyon and Dixie National Forest, a favorite part of the week-long ride for past LAGBRAUers. With a 20 mile loop in Bryce Canyon National Park, Friday's ride is 57 miles.

Saturday, Sept. 13 - PANGUITCH - CEDAR CITY - After breakfast in Panguitch, LAGBRAUers will start a slow gradual climb as they leave town for about 25 miles with a rest stop at Panquitch Lake about 17 miles up where they may want to take a swim and rest on the beach for a little while. Lunch will be served at the summit near Cedar Breaks National Monument. After lunch there is about a 25 mile descent into Cedar City. The last 10 miles on State Route 14 has heavier traffic and needs to be ridden slower and with greater caution. Riders will see their first and only traffic light in seven days as you come into Cedar City. They will ride thru that green light on Main Street and proceed a few hundred yards to the campus of the Southern Utah State University where we will camp next the their Physical Education Building where you can swim in their indoor pool and shower before dinner. You might even want to take in an optional play at Cedar City's famous Shakespearean Festival. In 2005 the LAGBRAUers saw the play "Alls Well That Ends Well," which was a big hit with all who attended and very appropriate for the end of the LAGBRAU. Saturday's ride is 50.4 miles.
