| 6:38 a.m. Start of day lap on White Rim trail in Canyonlands Nat'l Park. 4/25/03 | About 10 miles into the ride at the top of the Mineral Canyon overlook | Spires viewed from Mineral Canyon bottom | Beautiful reflection off of the Green River about 12 miles into the ride |

| A pretty ride along the Green River early in the morning. | The road ahead into Canyonlands | The first real climb above the Green River (above Hardscrabble Bottom). Can you spot the folks camping below? | Mike ahead ("Come on Ted; I've been waiting a half hour! <grin>" |

 |
| We named this "Viagra Spire" | One rides along the edge of the "White Rim" for miles upon miles... | One of the many spectacular views along the way | Long road ahead...looking toward the climb up to Murphy's Hogback |

| Mike putting in the miles (one of the few [only] times I was ahead of him). | Yet another "White Rim" view (I think this might be Junction Butte) | Look closely and you'll see the road way out at the horizon | Spires in the White Rim area |

| Ted trying to catch up to the ever patient Mike (Ok, he knew I had the car keys) | Mike with the LaSal Mountains in the distance (maybe 40 miles to go now) | I believe at this point we're somewhere along the rim on the road below (picture taken from Grand Viewpoint in C.NP) | Tower (name?) with interesting profile |

| Water break near Airport Tower (maybe 20 miles to go) | Water break (courtesy of Mike's co-worker). Thank you Bill & Ann! | Looking down on the beginning of the climb up Shafer Canyon (we were riding toward the bottom of the picture) | Made it back to the car, 12 hours and 50 minutes after we started; 102+ miles. Time for a beer! |
