Today we got up nice and early and headed out. We road up to Chivay. Once we got to Chivay we found a room, dropped off our stuff and had lunch. Chivay was only a 3 hour drive from Arequipa. After lunch we went for a ride along the seconded deepest canyon in the world. Its deeper then the Grand Canyon. It was pretty cool. We went to the end of the gravel road and turned back. On our way back I was coming down into a creek crossing. I was only going about walking speed and my front tire locked up and I put down the bike. I picked up the bike and carried on. Once we got back to the hotel we looked over the bike. I had bend my handle bars, my crash bar, my brake leaver for my foot, my mount for my saddle bag, my foot peg, and a few other little things. But we straightened it all out. Except for my handle bars, that really pissed me off. After that we had dinner and went to bed really early.
