Climbed up the 14% grade in the morning and up onto "The Hog's Back," a section with drop offs on each side without any guard rails. We arrived in Boulder, UT, and grabbed brunch before our big climb for the day. We would climb from 6000ft to 9600ft in about 15 miles. Thankfully this was much more gradual than our other big climbs in Utah. About 2 hours later we made it to the top and started making our way toward Torrey for groceries. On the way there, Aidan's front rack broke, but was still functional. In Torrey, we picked up food for dinner and a hose clamp for Aidan's rack. We decided to ride 45 more miles to Hanksville for the night, and found a campground with showers there. We went 3 nights without showers before tonight, so they were a welcome sight. Planning on 125 miles tomorrow. 50 miles, then 75 miles, each without any services in between. The elevation profile looks gradual though, so it shouldn't be too bad. We should be in Colorado the day after tomorrow. Well, I'm up too late again. Early morning tomorrow.
