Lander, Wyoming: A Weekend Away, Part 2

Keith and Lindsey traveled to Lander, WY for the WYO 131 bike race and extended the trip for a mini vacation. This is Part 2 of 2.

It's Warren Miller time! ⛷️ 🎥

Each year, as ski season approaches, it has become tradition for us to attend the local screening of the latest Warren Miller ski film. This year, the film was entitled "Days Off" and was shown at the local Scera Park Theater.

The film was all about the various ways people enjoy their days off by spending time on the mountain. The film was a great mix of relaxing scenes, some comedy, and of course... extreme, big-mountain skiing! We both really enjoyed the film, and we can't wait to enjoy some time on the slopes ourselves.

Keith finally got his new gravel bike 🚲 😄

The day has finally come... Keith picked up his new gravel bike this week!!! Keith ordered a brand new Enve Mog through Peak State Fit (Chris Yeager, his bike fitter). The process of ordering through his bike fitter took all of the guesswork out of purchasing a bike.

A while back, Keith went through the Retul Pre-Purchase Bike Fit process. This ensured that Keith had the exact geometry needed for the perfect bike fit. Chris then helped Keith to spec out the perfect bike to meet his body geometry and riding goals. The Enve Mog happened to be a perfect fit for Keith, which made bike selection an easy choice.

Upon picking up the bike, Chris worked with Keith to dial in the exact saddle and handlebar positioning to ensure that everything was just perfect. By the end of the fitting process, Keith felt extremely comfortable on the bike. Keith can't thank Chris enough for all the work he did to help him find and obtain the right bike. 😄

Date-night dinner at Tokyo Tower 🍣 🍜

After picking up Keith's bike, we headed out to Tokyo Tower in Salt Lake City, UT, for dinner. We were both getting hungry and knew that we would be sitting in traffic for a long time on the way back home. So, we decided to check out this local Japanese restaurant that happened to be on Lindsey's restaurant list.

The restaurant was surprisingly large and well decorated. It felt like a much more expensive restaurant than it actually was. All of the food was fantastic, and the service was great. We started with the Steamed Shrimp Dumplings appetizer. This was followed by two delicious sushi rolls, which were Lindsey's main course. Keith ordered the Yakisoba Combination (beef, chicken, and shrimp), which was a perfect pairing with the appetizers.

This restaurant gets high marks for quality of service, quality of the sushi/meals, and the overall dining experience. It's hard to believe that the prices were only slightly higher than your typical Chinese takeout restaurant.

Keith's first ride on his new Enve Mog 🚵 🚀

Keith couldn't wait to get his first ride in on his new Enve Mog gravel bike. So, on Saturday, he headed out on his local training loop. The goal was to give the bike a proper shakedown ride and to test how Keith's body would handle the significantly harder gearing on some of the steep climbs on this route.

The weather was beautiful, and there was little to no wind for the majority of the ride. It really couldn't have been a better day. Keith was pleasantly surprised that the larger 42-tooth chainring wasn't a problem on the steep 10-12% climbs on his route. For reference, Keith typically rides a 30-tooth chainring on his mountain bike, which provides a significantly lower (easier) gear range. This larger chainring also allowed Keith to still pedal at speeds as high as 30 mph (48 kph) with relative ease. 🚀

Working with the bike fitter definitely paid off! Keith felt comfortable almost immediately on the bike. For anyone who has ever hopped on a new bike, you probably know that isn't the norm. Typically, first rides are full of pressure points, saddle sores, and an uncomfortable initial experience. That definitely wasn't the case with this bike.

Bonrue Bakery opening weekend 🥧 🥐

On Sunday, we got up somewhat early and headed to breakfast at the new Bonrue Bakery in Orem, UT. Bonrue is a Utah-local bakery chain offering European-style sweet and savory treats.

We each ordered a savory option, along with a latte for our breakfast. Lindsey ordered the Quiche Lorraine and Keith ordered the Hot George croissant. We also each ordered a sweet treat for later. Lindsey ordered the Kouign Amann (Queen Amann) and Keith ordered the Apple Fritter. The owner also gave us a surprise slice of the Blueberry Coffee Cake! BONUS! 😄

Everything was quite delicious, including the coffee. However, we are finding that we are very spoiled when it comes to local bakeries. There are so many good, local bakeries around that it's hard for any one to really stand out. Bonrue was definitely good, and we are looking forward to sampling more of their offerings in the near future.
