Salt Lake City to Brigham City

Salt Lake City to Brigham City

As we slowly made our way out of the city it was great to check out all of the many tourist attractions. It took me only three hours to get out of the church due to some quick pit stops.

The first one I hit was the city library which had a beautiful design that was in the middle of the city. I never went in but it was a nice layout to bike around near the City Hall Building. The next place we hit was Temple Square where we got a personal tour by a missionary for the Church of Latter Day Saints. They were very well spoken and polite as they showed us around the area, and they even found people to watch our bikes for my small group. As expected, I learned more about their religion but don’t plan on becoming a member anytime soon.

Making our way out of the city and into the suburbs was very quaint as we hit up all of the main streets. They were all preparing for Pioneer Day Festivities as chairs were lined up saving peoples seats. My favorite part was buying lemonade from some very nice little kids right before I made my way back to the highway.

Props to Claire for finding us a great lunch spot in Ogden where a restaurant donated food and drinks. The drinks included a Root Beer float that was phenomenal and the food included sandwiches/fresh fruit. Our best lunch stop yet! The rest of the bike ride was pretty simply as I only stopped to see an old bookstore that had photography.

We had a great community dinner where we were able to present and spread more awareness of the cause. It was some great grilling but I was fast asleep immediately after the meal!
