    We ran in to Skylar Howes 10 miles out of Ludlow and slabed it in to town...Apparently there were some rally boys out there practicing for the Dakar Rally. ...no pics. :(

    Ludlow Cafe was open so we had a burger and decided to take the Ludlow to Needle's Truck Trail. We had planned to take it one direction or the other since we had never ridden it before.

    Sunday morning we headed north to Avi for fuel. Saturday was a great day with no drama and we were looking forward to another beautiful day.
