On arrival in CaDar I spotted a Visa bank. Hugh has not been able to get money out of any of the Ecuadorian banks with his Visa card so I suggested he try this one. As he was searching for his card he realized he left it, with his bike Title, in .... Riobamba! Arrrgh!<P> It was around 2pm and it took us nearly 4 hours to traverse the twisty Panam Hwy for around 120 miles (some of that was picture taking). So we made a quick decision, find the Posada Ingapirca hotel (about 250m past the ruins), check in and he would high-tail it back to Riobamba, again, and take a decision to either stay the night or ride back to the hotel.<p> He rode back. At night! Yikes.<P> Not much else to say about today, but glad he/we are staged to continue bright and early tommorrow. <p> <HR ALIGN="CENTER"> <P> <FONT SIZE=2 COLOR=#9CC4FF> <a href="http://www.twowheelsgood.net/toddp/default.htm">Home</a> | <a href="http://www.twowheelsgood.net/toddp/plan.htm">The Plan</a> | Ride Report | <a href="http://www.twowheelsgood.net/toddp/special.htm">Special Events</a> | <a href="http://www.twowheelsgood.net/toddp/riders.htm">The Riders</a> </Ul> <P> <HR ALIGN="CENTER"> <FONT SIZE=2 COLOR=#9CC4FF> <p> Send comments to <a href="mailto:boy_lurker@yahoo.com"><b><i>Todd</i></B></a> <p> <FONT SIZE=1 COLOR=#CE6270><i>This page last updated 12/03/2002</i></font> <!-- These two BReaks lift the bottom of the page up.
