Hike-a-biking through sand on the way up Jackass Canyon Road

Since I knew I'd be hike-a-biking a few miles up this road today, I'm enjoying it, instead of seeing it as an inconvenience.

On the other hand, I didn't enjoy walking the bike through this sand on the way down because I didn't know bad the road is, and hadn't factored the slow-down into my schedule.
