That black frame bag does add a bit of a twist to the pic, doesn't it.

Do you still have your Schwinn? Also, did you tour out to Utah or drive out and then bicycle around?

The Schwinn was stripped down, got a fresh powdercoating and is in the basement. I haven't quite decided what I'm doing with it, but have some ideas. Maybe a bare bones one speed.
I flew into SLC and caught a shuttle to Moab. The bike was shipped ahead to a Moab bike shop and ready to roll when I arrived. Then it was off into the desert and mountains for two weeks. Went as far south as Monument Valley. Here's my bike and tent at the most incredible campsite in the USA.
Although Moab is considered Mecca for mountainbikers, the posibilities for other outdoor adventures are endless. Gone once for canoeing, once for cycling and can't wait to go back. Someone said its like DisneyWorld designed by LL Bean.
Enough of me, already! Let's see someone else's bike and travel pics.

Beautiful photo... bet that wood for the picnic shelter was a drag to carry though. :)

The pic has been carefully cropped so the you can't see any of the other 98 campsites in Mitten View Campground, Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park. But tent site 25 is the best and I had to beg to get it, due to the high winds that were blowing that afternoon. (If my tent blew away the Navajo didn't want to hear about it.) Being a huge fan of John Ford westerns, the view was to die for.
The current website, http://www.monumentvalleyonline.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=document&ID=4 , says "There is no biking inside the monument", but no one objected in 1999 to my riding the dirt road thru the Valley out to Ford's Point and back. Perhaps there are times when it pays to look like a German tourist.
