So my next big ride was going to be the UTBDR (http://www.backcountrydiscoveryroutes.com/UTBDR)...until I saw they finished the NMBDR (http://www.backcountrydiscoveryroutes.com/NMBDR). That's on my short-short list.
But then a friend gave me the Butler UTBDR map and it has me drooling and reconsidering. What a ride! Crosses into Wyoming, of all places.
And, while I was planning and salivating and dreaming, he sends me greetings from this place: http://www.3stephideaway.com/index.php. He stopped by en route to elsewhere.
Dammit, this "work" stuff is getting in the way of my riding!
