Pedaling from Durango to Moab (getting to the start: day 2)

After a restful night's sleep, we are up early and looking for breakfast (our neighbors have roosters....). After being denied at the Wake and Bake cafe - they don't open until 8 (maybe too much "Baking" last night), we discover the Peace Tree Cafe - what a great place! friendly service and excellent food.
Next up, we meet Paul from Red Rock Express for our shuttle to the Durango Mountain Resort (not affiliated with the Lazy Lizard operation....). Stop me if this is getting old, but what a great guy! Reliable, friendly and a (serious) mountain biker himself.
That's right bitches ..... a Cadillac Escalade
Paul




The ride takes about 3 hours and we get a good view of the southern aspect of the La Sal mountains - the second range we will be riding over. Our accommodations at the Durango Mountain Resort (formerly known as Purgatory) are much nicer than last nights. Much nicer.

Sweet!

The only downside with DMR is the lack of food options - we weren't really looking for a white linen dining experience, so we opted to load up on dinner stuff (and breakfast for tomorrow) at the deli/convenience store/only place available.......

Jason's salad had a rough ride back to the condo.....
