After breakie, I set of towards Salt Lake City for a very windy ride. The weather was nice and warm but very windy and that does not make for a nice ride. Salt Lake City was nice though, I first went to the visitor centre opposite the Capitol building. The suburb around it has some very beautiful houses !!
After that I went to Temple Square, as Salt Lake City is the headquarters of the Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter Day Saints better known as the Mormon Church. I got a tour from two Sisters and have to say it was very interesting.
The buildings are gorgeous, the original temple (not open to visitors) is absolutely stunning on the outside and the rest of the buildings around Temple Square are gorgeous as well. The feel of this area is almost un-American on one hand but on the other hand the large buildings are very American. Anyway, the city is worth a visit !!
Then I set of towards Wendover or the Bonneville Salt Flats. I checked straight into the motel and plan to go to the flats tomorrow. The World of Speed starts on the 11th of August so I expect the preparations to be in full swing.
I talked to Gavin tonight and they are just outside Denver after a short ride. Gav and Chris had to go on a hunt for parts for the small camera as it is failing and they also got a new small camera as extra / back up. The boys met with the Denver copper but no chilli ;). Tomorrow they plan to ride through the Rockies.
