Oddometer: 815 The next morning the alarm goes off, my friends
have found me.  Take a look at the GPS maps. As the bird flies
I'll have about 30 miles until I hit pavement, so I opt out of
breakfast thinking when I reach a store I'll get something. Fill
up the camelback and I set off. I set off along a sandy track
that seems to go on for miles, the sand takes the front wheel
one direction and the rear the other and it's not long before
the sand really confuses the bike and I'm down.  I take a bush
with me.  Several more attempts at trying to stay on the road, I
decide to try cutting a new trail that will hopefully have more
solid ground, but these are false hopes and I retreat back to
the road.  What seems like 35 miles and 3 hours, the GPS leads
me off the sandy bottom into the mountains on harder ground. I
think this is good, anything to be away from that sand.  It's
still blazing
