Well, today turned out to be quite different than originally planned. We decided to hit the road after breakfast rather than staying in LA for another day. Though we were sad to say good bye to Amy's fashionable family and also miss out on The Price Is Right, we were very relieved to hit the road and say good riddance to LA! After a few hours of mountain passes, scorching desert highway, and one rest stop where Amy was bestowed with the alleged good fortune of being pooped on by a bird, we arrived in Las Vegas. Excited at the prospect of stretching our legs and riding the Red Rocks Canyon Scenic road, we parked and kitted up. Thirty minutes of hellish traffic and riding with no shoulder turned us right back to the car and wanting nothing more than to get back on the highway and as far away from yet another "Las" sucky city again. Sad that we didn't even get to drive down The Strip or get near a casino, we stopped at the last chance gambling town in Mesquite, Nevada for dinner and drinks. Amy needed to test out her good luck after being pooped on, so we went to the tables for a game of craps! I guess the luck helped a little today, as she started with $20 and walked away with $23. woohoo!!
You may not get an update from us tomorrow since we'll spend most of the day in the car bound for Boulder, but we promise to have some better pictures after this leg of the journey, so it'll be worth the wait!

Hmmm...so what you're saying is that being shat upon is worth approximately $3.
That seems low.
When I think Vegas I definitely don't think 'a nice place to go for a bike ride', but I'm still sorry to hear you weren't able to enjoy yourselves out there.
Safe travels! Can't wait to see more photos!
The next chapter begins!
