Day 49

Hite, UT to Fruita, UT, about 87 miles.  This morning had some beautiful riding but steep climbs.  I had a light breakfast and spent 50 miles rushing to the next town, Hanksville, so I could get some food.  There I found an awesome gas station with a burger restaurant inside that had veggie burgers.  I had two veggie burgers and a large milkshake.  After that I had some energy to ride to Fruita, right in the middle of Capitol Reef National Park.  I had to fight through strong headwinds coming from a nearby storm, slowing me by about an hour, but the storm did provide some shade, so perhaps it was a fair trade.  I got to the campsite in Capitol Reef and it is beautiful.  Did a short hike up a cliff to watch the sunset.
