Kokopelli ride - day #2

Today we're going from the West Water Campground to Dewey Bridge

and on to the Hide Out camp up on Onion Creek Road.

Starting our ride on the very-very looong white road to Dewey Bridge area

Taking a break before keep going on the very "exciting" road

Cuddling together out of the sun?

NOPE!

Trying to stay out of the 35 mph wind with gusts of 60+ mph.

There's just one word to describe today's day:

miserably boring & tough windy day.

Almost there... kinda of.

Just another of the many climbs by the Colorado river.

On another climb, Cindy & I were biking up the paved road, while Chris...

he just got off the bike and started his hike-a-bike style due to the strong wind and

he pretty much was walking at our same speed.

The wind was just stopping us - goush!

Finally at Dewey Bridge for a snack stop.

Kudos to Todd: he continued on the dirt road to our Hide Out camp.

Cindy & I decided to get over there by Hwy128 + Onion Creek Road and Mariella joined us.

Chris... he "sacrificed" himself & didn't bike.

Well...

The truth is: he was over-the-top-sick-of-the-wind

and wanted to have some fun with Steele!!!

So he got Mariella off the car and took over our Sag Wagon Clifford and the kiddo.

The Two Kids (Steele & Ratz) set up the kite to welcome us Girls

at the Onion Creek trail head parking lot.

Mom & son playing with the kite

Look at our Thoughy Mascot: we're still wondering how

he wasn't being blown away by the wind. Good job Big Boy!!!

The Girls are getting ready to hit the last 10 miles...

well... more or less... it ended up being 13+ miles of mostly uphills.

But with beautiful views and welcoming streams that cooled us down. Yesss!
