I still manage to not sleep long enough and get to the bike shop at 9:45 where I have to sit outside for a while. I eventually get let in, and buy two new tires, two new tubes, pay for them to install them (I don&#8217;t feel like doing it) and get new bike gloves (mine are literally shredded). I head out $120 lighter, but with a far improved bike, and improved spirits. I stop at a BK for a late breakfast and have a Whopper, the breakfast of champions. I need money, so I then head to what appears to be the only Bank of America in the state. I arrive and see it is only a BofA home loans. I talk to them and they say that BofA does not bank in Utah, but there are two ATM&#8217;s around Salt Lake. That is not helpful.<\/p>\n<p>I give up and head up towards Heber City. The ride is really beautiful through a canyon, but my legs feel a little rubbery, probably because I did my first century ever the day before. I take a picture of a waterfall, look down the road where Sundance is, and ride by a nice lake. <\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_624\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/liveforthepath.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/P1000804_3264x2448.JPG\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-624\" src=\"https:\/\/liveforthepath.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/P1000804_3264x2448-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"The ride though a mountain pass\" title=\"P1000804_3264x2448\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-624\" srcset=\"https:\/\/liveforthepath.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/P1000804_3264x2448-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/liveforthepath.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/P1000804_3264x2448-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-624\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The ride though a mountain pass<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/GM3bG5i1olM?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_625\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/liveforthepath.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/P1000808_3264x1840.JPG\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-625\" src=\"https:\/\/liveforthepath.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/P1000808_3264x1840-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"A picture of the falls.\" title=\"P1000808_3264x1840\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-625\" srcset=\"https:\/\/liveforthepath.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/P1000808_3264x1840-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/liveforthepath.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/P1000808_3264x1840-1024x577.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-625\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A picture of the falls.<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_626\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/liveforthepath.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/P1000809_3264x1840.JPG\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-626\" src=\"https:\/\/liveforthepath.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/P1000809_3264x1840-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"People playing at the base of the falls.\" title=\"P1000809_3264x1840\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-626\" srcset=\"https:\/\/liveforthepath.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/P1000809_3264x1840-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/liveforthepath.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/P1000809_3264x1840-1024x577.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-626\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">People playing at the base of the falls.<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_627\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/liveforthepath.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/P1000810_1920x1080.JPG\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-627\" src=\"https:\/\/liveforthepath.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/P1000810_1920x1080-300x168.jpg\" alt=\"Sign for Sundance.

This is not optimal, but I end up making it to Heber City. I eat in the town, but it is 6pm by the time it is done. There is a campground just 15 miles up the road, but I know it is 15 miles directly up to the summit of a large hill, around a 2500 foot climb. I decide not to do it and check in at a Holiday Inn Express instead because they have a deal where if you stay for two nights before July 4th, you can get a third night after July 4th free.<\/p>\n<p>My room was ridiculous \u2013 it had a hot tub in the main room and also a fire place. <\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_629\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/liveforthepath.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/P1000812_3264x1840.JPG\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-629\" src=\"https:\/\/liveforthepath.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/P1000812_3264x1840-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"The bike always hogs the fire.\" title=\"P1000812_3264x1840\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-629\" srcset=\"https:\/\/liveforthepath.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/P1000812_3264x1840-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/liveforthepath.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/P1000812_3264x1840-1024x577.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-629\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The bike always hogs the fire.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>And for a Holiday Inn  Express it was fairly inexpensive.
