DAY 74

Capitol Reef N.P, UT to Hanksville, UT

We start the day with a short walk to a natural bridge (of rock) before getting back on the bike and hitting the road proper. It's windy, very very windy, so much so that we're literally blown off the road 3 times, pretty scary and a little dangerous, but it's only when the road turns side-on to the wind momentarily, otherwise it's a full-blown tailwind, which is a heck of a lot safer, faster and fun. The scenery is just as good as the ride here yesterday, in fact today's white overcast sky possibly makes it even look better. It's one of the best day's rides of the whole trip, constant scenery-wise, despite the cold and the wind. Hanksville, however, is butt-ugly and full of junk in people yards.

Sidenote: Luke has $81 left (LOL he is such a frivolous spender)
#2 We have just about everything matching now, bike, sleeping bag, sleeping mat, high vis cycling tops, black cycling pants, sunglasses, windproof jackets.  We ARE SO CUTE!
