Saints to Sinners is a relay bike race from Salt Lake City to Las Vegas. It's a 512 mile race that typically is done by teams of 10 or 5. We had a team of 5 until the day before the race when one of our members dropped out. We couldn't find another rider so we resequenced the relay and rode it with four. 29 hours after starting in Salt Lake City we finished in Las Vegas. I didn't get too many photos, but here are a few. The scenery was great. Starting at 5,500 feet in elevation we rode to 10,500 then back down to Las Vegas which is close to sea level. The weather ranged anywhere from 104 degrees in the desert Saturday morning to 40 degrees in the pass during the middle of the night. Each rider rode approximately 130 miles and we went trough plenty of water, gatorade, granola bars and trail mix. The hot meal at the end was well worth the effort. The shower was even better!
