Setting records at Bonneville Speedway

So on our way out of Salt Lake City is the Great Salt Lake Desert which was part of the extinct Lake Bonneville, which existed centuries ago and spanned Utah, Nevada, and Idaho. Now, in addition to that desert, it is also home to the Bonneville Salt Flats, famous for many land-speed records to have been made and even today, cars are tested on these flats for speed. We had to check out the area, right? It was right on our way!

We first stopped at a rest area and rode around on the Salt Flats there.




But then, we actually went to the Bonneville Salt Flat Speedway area and decided to try out our speed skills on our cruiser! Check it out:




We were definitely a hit with the many other tourists who were there in their Jeeps, 4x4s, sedans, and motorcycles. Not often you see bicyclists. But when we were leaving, we saw two more roadies biking in! Impressive!
