seems like we just got here

Ah Tuesday.  Our last day in Moab yet again.  Even the skies had clouded up, as if to make our departure easier.  In no great hurry, we strolled through town to Moab's food truck park, hoping that the Moab Kitchen truck would be there.  It wasn't - I must have misread its Instagram post - and we didn't feel like going in anywhere for a full sit-down, so breakfast was PB&J on pretzel bagels back at the motel.

We packed up and, as has become our tradition, drove out to the MOAB Brand Trails for one more go-round.  I decided to take a walk rather than ride, so H did two circuits of Rusty Spur/Bar M loop while I just did half of the Bar M.  As you can see from the ride stats below, H goes much faster when he doesn't have to wait for me.

And there go the LaSals

Afterwards, we bundled up against the increasing clouds and had our parking lot beers, watching the LaSal mountains slowly become hidden by the weather.  When it started to sprinkle on us, we knew it was time to go.  And go we did, getting back to Salt Lake City before 5 p.m., with reports of snow accumulations in the Wasatch Front pinging on our phones.  Looks like we got to the desert just in time - seems like ski season is raring to go!

Ride stats:  18.67 miles; 1:29 hours; 12.59 m.p.h. (avg.) and 22.0 m.p.h. (max)
