Bishop to Benton (reversed), 36 miles
Section 8 is a short one. So short that we decided to take it in reverse on our way home day, coming back towards LA and San Diego. It's only 36 miles and it would be super fast, if not for an unexpected road closure due to the recent heavy rains. The Chidago Canyons were a pleasant and beautiful ride, and it was also nice to stop and check the ancient petroglyphs on the way to Bishop.
After section 8 was finished, therefore concluding our beautiful BDR trip, we stopped in Bishop for some BBQ and to finish the trip with the full spirit of adventure, we had our first and only flat tire from all sections.
