Longer rides and sore legs

Sabado dawned beautifully so a big group of us, including John and Aeyoung from Los Angeles, and Gabriel's family headed off to ride to Corazon, one of the nearby volcanoes.

It was another lovely day, very hot out of the wind.  We rode down past the little town of Aloag, then up and up and up the stone roads, til we left the road and rode through the paramo on the sides of Corazon.

Here is Aeyoung, followed by Simon and Ben, then Gabriel on the other side of the road.

Then we rode back down a different way through the fields, before joining back to the road and riding through the little town of Aloag, past the main square and shops.
