Truck Thursday

 

The people who drive these trucks go through a rigorous training to be able to maneuver these huge machines while backing up and going around corners,

pndub_live: Wow it was 14% I had no idea

 

nwrighteous: @wormsworms @pndub_live Thank God I was going downhill. Hogs Back is no joke.

 

pndub_live: @nwrighteous haha. Prepared my legs well for the flats. We averaged 19mph this morning.

 

pndub_live: @nwrighteous don't worry there's like a 20 mile climb out of escalante for you :)

 

nwrighteous: 😣 @pndub_live

 

pndub_live: @nwrighteous no complaining. I had a 50 mile one coming out of Hite to Salvation Knoll and then that crazy bit up the mesa to blanding

 

nwrighteous: @pndub_live I remember it well. The westbound side that is, ha

 

daverdave: Check yer brakes

  

Looking east into Utah along UT-21. This is an 83-mile stretch of no services between Milford, Utah, and Baker, Nevada, along the ACA Western Express. It's not apparent in the pic, but we battled 20-25 mph flanking winds and headwinds. There isn't much vegetation to move with the gusts, so you can't tell how strong the wind really is until you start moving.

 

These types of roads are mentally taxing, when you can see it go on for 30 or more miles. Basin, range, repeat.

And sometimes you gotta ride random gravel and hop a fence, because pavement gets boring. #westernexpress #detour #carsoncity #Nevada #us50 #emergency #access #portage #crossiscoming

Great Western Railway King class No 6024 'King Edward 1' passing through Sonning Cutting as it approches Reading as it heads West

There's a small landing strip precariously paved above Hite National Recreation Area on the north end of where the Colorado River turns into Lake Powell. I am on it. #runway #strip #airport #desolate #westernexpress #adventurecycling #pavement #vfr #cominginhot #Utah

wormsworms: Nice! It was completely impassable and snowed out when I was there so I had to go over it in a truck:(

 

onabike: I rode over that a few years ago, it's a great place to get high.

The final Western Airlines route map before its merger with Delta Air Lines from March 1987. The carrier merged with Delta on 1 April, providing the Atlanta-based carrier with its Salt Lake City hub and the beginnings of its Los Angeles hub, both of which continue to exist today.

 

Western focused on building its hub-and-spoke system over Salt Lake City and to a lesser extent Los Angeles during the five years since this August 1982 map.

 

Western operated 96 aircraft, including 39 727-200s, 35 737-200s, 13 737-300s and nine DC-10s, on 1 March 1987, the Ascend Fleets database shows.

My riding compadres: Mike from London and John from Columbus. About 50 miles north of Cedar City, #Utah. Downhill and tailwind. #selfie #westernexpress #adventurecycling #biketour #tailwind
