We followed Redwood Road to
its north end (where it turns east), then east to Bountiful Main Street. There we stopped to enjoy Baskin Robbins ice
cream, then headed north along the UTA bus route. We could tell we were on the right road as
long as we could see bus stop signs.

Kaysville
We went through Kaysville,
stopping to eat at a Quizno’s place.
Then we passed over to the west of I-15, and followed highway 126
through Layton, Clearfield, Roy, and Farr West.
The road was pretty
non-descript, so we didn’t think to take any photos. The good thing about it is that it avoids the
hills the routes east of I-15 have.
We stopped at Bingham
Cyclery in Roy, and finally snacked at a convevience store in Farr West. It was getting toward rush hour, and there
was a lot of traffic on the road.
Then we went east, over
I-15, and joined highway 89 a few miles south of Willard.

We checked into the Galaxie
Motel in Brigham City at 5:30 PM, and at the restaurant next door, which was
quite good. We picked this motel while
still on the south side of town, because it looked like our favorite kind of
motel, and because soon there would be a steep downhill we wouldn’t want to
pedal back up if we found no motels farther on (a good choice, because there
weren’t any).
On this day, we travelled
54.4 miles, at an average speed of 11.6 MPH.
The bicycles were moving for four hours, 41 minutes. It took us six hours and 30 minutes to do it.
