And when we started biking down a mountain at 20+ mph, it started to get very cold. With our hands completely numb, and being soaking wet from the condensing water, everyone wanted to get out of the cloud as soon as possible. It\u2019s funny how everyone want\u2019s to know what it\u2019s like inside of a cloud but once we were there, we wanted to be anywhere else.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After biking through the cloud for a while longer, while avoiding piles of rocks that had fallen off the mountain and crossing streams, it was worth it. The view from the mountain was amazing, and the biking was great when you could see and feel. We got to a small town, and from there we were bussed to where we would be staying for the night.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row use_custom_gutter=&#8221;on&#8221;
