Day Five - Torrey to Panguitch

Day Five of our Tour is 109 miles with about 3,200' of climbing. But Bow and I didn't ride it all. We had to drive the van into Loa for grocery shopping and also to look for a hotel in town to host a time station for the upcoming Hoodoo 500. After running our errands we helped set up the lunch stop, and rode into Panguitch from there. It was 47 miles with 1,100' of climbing. And absolutely amazing, perfect, and NOT usual conditions. It was much cooler than usual, and we had a tailwind! Typically this day is super super hot with headwinds pretty much all day. So we all got lucky - and everyone was HAPPY!!!
A quick stop for water and snacks. I had a Starbucks vanilla frappaccino, and lots of folks had soft serve ice cream. Everyone was smiling!
Here's the group Bow and I rode in with. Front to back, Elizabeth, Vickie, Joe, Peggy and I honestly can't tell who's on the back...
