Day 4 (REST!!!!)

After deciding to rest for a day, I felt like my whole body (physically and mentally) just deflated like a balloon. 3 days of non-stop worrying of how Anne is holding up on the bike and a bad night of sleep added to the fatigue factor.

Last night was cold. I think it dropped into the 30s or 40s and my sleeping bag definitely did not hold up well with those temperatures. Meanwhile, Anne snored away in her warm (rated to 15 degrees) bag.

We rode 2-up on Anne's bike through the park to enjoy some nice views. Yes, we rode in our shorts and flip flops. After 3 days at high speeds with full gear, we felt too tired to put on our getup for a 25mph ride. It definitely felt a bit weird not having our body protected from head to toe.

Good thing about Bryce is that there's signal. We checked the weather for the next few days, and it doesn't look too good. High wind and bad storms! At around 3pm, we were itching to pack up our stuff and head back out. But we already paid for the site, and we were not going to make it to Zion in time to get our passport stamped. I swear, this passport thing is like Pokemon... gotta catch em all!

So instead, we rode to Ruby's Inn just outside of Bryce to pick up some "gourmet" canned food. Not only did we have instant noodle for the night, we had clams and corn in our soup base, topped off with a nice cold salad.

After showering later that evening (we have been pretty lucky to be able to wash up on this trip), we made our way over to Sunset Point to view the famous Bryce Canyon at sunset. By the time we got back to our campsite, Sunset Campground was filled. Enough rest. Tomorrow we ride again.



Bryce實在是太美了, 所以我們決定在這裡多留一天玩耍 (其實是我們都太累了, 但是沒人要承認自己是狗熊). 一早起來悠悠閒閒吃完早餐之後就準備出發去玩. 我們的摩托車很重又沒有倒退檔, 所以Eric叫我推車, 我左看右看覺得車燈最好施力, 用力一推, 車子沒動燈卻壞了. 想當然爾, Eric當然是先擺個死臉加上一陣怒哄, 一肚子氣的開始把我的摩托車解體. 經過45分鐘之後, 我們終於出發了. 經過好幾天的全副武裝, 今天穿短褲拖鞋騎車感覺像沒穿衣服一樣, 感覺好像一摔倒就會很慘的樣子. 所以我們時速不超過30 miles. 現在想想, 以前在台灣怎麼敢穿著短袖短褲啪啪騎, 真是危險.

下午睡了個午覺, 突然有一點後悔今天偷懶, 拿出手機查了下天氣, 過幾天天氣都不太好, 風很大, 可能會下雨. 但是我們已經付了今天營地的錢, 加上已經下午3點了, 等我們收好出發也騎不遠了, 最後決定好好享受今天的假期. 騎車到營區外補充了一些糧食, 吃了超享受的沙拉, 洗完澡, 去看這裡最有名的日落, 畫下完美的句點.
