We barely slept the night due to wind, sand. Interestingly cold was never an issue even though we were right nect to snow-topped Chimbarazo..

We packed up after trying to get rid of sand and hit the road hoping to rest in the nearest town/hospejade. The views along the way were beautiful.

Fortunately an old, abandoned empedrado route has been converted into a bike path and I never saw another soul until I got close to next communidade.
