Here is a link to the blog post the Bike Hermit wrote about our adventure to Death Valley. Thankfully we discovered Panamint Valley which, for us, was much more enjoyable for biking in December.
Only one day of nasty winds - had to be the climbing day right . Let's just say I really earned the beer I had carefully packed in pannier. The best part for me was the last day as we stood by our bikes, on a sandy dirt road and the silence was amazing. I truly could only hear the blood in passing by my ears, just what I needed.
