I biked to Utah. Weird.
Bike & Build lists the route from Meeker, CO to Vernal, UT as 109 miles. I think that's what the cue sheet said, too.
In Dinosaur, just before the state line, a liquor store crowed "last chance to buy real beer!" I think Utah has a 4% maximum rule.
The ride was barren, but pretty. As we entered Utah, the terrain changed from rocky metamorphic mountains into something like petrified sand dunes, slow rolling sandy perks with only a hint of shrubbery growing on them.
