Monument Valley (Day 3)















This morning we got up at the crack of dawn again. We decided to get a quick bike ride in before starting our work day. We just ride along the road for a while and then figured out that the road connects to another road that eventually leads back to the campground. After about 10 miles the road winds around the mountains and turns into a sandy unpaved road. Determined to ride our loop we struggle with the sand but don't wanna turn around. A few horses and a bull cross our way. They seem to just roam around free on the indian reservation. Every so often a car with native americans passes us. Everybody waves friendly and moves way over to make room for us. So nice of them! In LA you have to get out of the way quick enough so you won't get hit or yelled at by angry drivers. The road gets worse and we have to get off our bikes and walk for bits and pieces, but now we're too far along to turn around. We keep thinking the campground should be just around the corner, but we're wrong every time. Our quick morning ride turns into 2 hours but eventually we get back to the campground. We got a great work out but we're really looking forward to our next destination on Saturday. Moab the mecca of mountain biking! We can't wait to ride your slick rock trails with no sand to get stuck in.
