During the past week cruising around Utah, I've been looking forward to my encore of sorts: stopping at the Colorado National Monument to ride around Rim Rock Road, the 'Tour of the Moon' stage of the old Coor's Classic Bike Race (later elevated to infamy by Kevin Bacon in the American Flyers movie.)

It was a fun loop ride, and felt wonderful to leave all the panniers and gear in the car. The Monument is pretty, but it ain't no Zion!
After a couple hours, it's time to get back on I-70 and pick up a case of fresh peaches in Palisades, and then the real treat of my encore day... a long hot soak in Glenwood Hotsprings!
