Now heading South we crossed the Continental Divide for the 7th time as the border changed from Montana to Idaho. Further south into Utah we continued past Salt Lake City to Interstate 80. A stop at the rest stop proved the straight roads were not over, not even close. A warning sign, this time not of deer or bison but snakes and scorpions proved we had ventured into new grounds. This long flat road across took as to the Bonneville Salt Flat.
After a walk on the salt and a taste test we continued to the famous Bonneville Speedway. While chatting to a guy manning the entrance we saw a sit down motorbike do 188.8 miles and hour. Earlier that day females we going 240miles an hour. After finding out about the 11mile long coarse we headed back the way we came.
Starting with the 58km straight, no rise no turns just flat. Then the most slightest of bend then straight for another 23km. After a slight deviation we continued straight and flat before a rise after 9km and a bend 4km later. So one hill and one corner in 84km.
After a hot day a swim followed by a spa proved relaxing. Wendys for tea and a relaxing time back at the hotel.
