May 6 - Day 118

I must admit that the off road corrugation has gotten the best of me.  My bad ankle was so swollen and painful last night I could not walk.  It was due to the relentless pounding the off road and the clip-in position has wreaked upon it.  So I could not post this morning.  :(   I had to truck the ride today.  It is sad but there was not much other than amputation that could have worked.  I chose the truck versus the other drastic option.  

But the scenery through the day was fantastic.  There were two passes and numerous valleys and mountains that made the day spectacular!


This is the desert plains giving way to the encroaching mountains.


The reds and oranges of the rock faces of this Mesa were hard to capture but unbelievable to see.


As we came to the summit of this mountain pass we were treated to a breathtaking view of the mountain ranges yet to be climbed... by us!  :)

Hopefully the ankle will settle down and riding tomorrow.  Only three days left.  :)
