Provo Temple 3.3 Miles
Mt. Timpanogos Temple 18.4 miles
Draper Temple 27 miles
So the almost is up there in the title because my goal was to get a picture at the gate of each temple. Well I didn't actually get to the gate of the Draper temple. Made a couple of wrong turns and headed down the 10% grade and didn't want to bike back up. Lame I know but I went over traverse mountain. My first time ever. I wasn't mentally or physically prepared for it's steepness. It took me an hour to bike 4 miles, it was all 8% and 10 % grades. Here's the sign for remebrance purposes.
Jordan River Temple 43.5 miles
Oquirrh Mountain Temple 47.3 miles
I ended at my Aunt Lorlie's house at 51.2 miles. Now is where I must confess that I didn't bike home. I was tired. There was the threat of rain. I have all kinds of excuses but my cousin Melissa offered to drive me home and I couldn't resist. I feel kind of pathetic but what do you do. My legs will feel much better tomorrow because of that decision.

If there is a next time I will not bike over traverse mountain. Too steep.
Here are my stats, more for me than anyone else I realize:
Miles: 51.2
Time: 4:01.22 that is really slow but someone decided to put all the temples on a hill
Average Heart Rate 145
Time in heart rate zone: 2:17 was out of the zone the rest of the time because of the hills

Lanelle, you are crazy. Sometimes I wish I could just hop on my bike and be gone for the day. Sounds like it would be a blast.
I can't wait until the kids get good at riding their bikes, then we could all go on bike rides.
You are one tough cookie! That looked like lots of fun.
Oh my gosh....crazy is only the beginning of describing your actions. Glad that you were able to see so many temples but I highly doubt the Lord is going to bless you since you didn't bike back home :)
You are so crazy. I didn't even drive 50 miles yesterday. You are amazing...crazy but still amazing.
What a nut!!
I have grandparents that live on the top of the mountain at Suncrest and every time we drive up that hill, I see some crazy cyclists. Good for you for even attempting it!
Dang gena! Impressive!
The word "lazy" doesn't even belong in this post Missy! That is so awesome that you biked that far! I enjoyed seeing all the temples you biked to and was glad you took pix of each, I hadn't seen the Oquirrh Mtn. temple before.
You are officially the Biking Queen!
HEY!!! We need to hang out! Now you can look at my blog even though i just redid it and don't really have any photos up yet ;)
WOW!!! U R officially a rock star! and i thought i had a lot of energy! WELL DONE!!!
DANG! that's all i got to say.
I am so glad that I don't have a bike! And it is because of people like you that I will never get one. Thank you for helping me avoid that "hole in the road"... literally.
