We left on what we thought was going to be an easy day....250 miles.... no problem. What we did not figure into the time was how windy the roads could be.....It looked like rain we geared up and hit the road. We were soon climbing through the jungle roads with thick vegetation climbing to the clouds. A few sprinkles and then soon the monsoon rains were upon us. We had big smiles as we burned up the soaking wet concrete bike path, thank god there was no traffic. Scott and I rode side by side trying to find the edge of traction. We had the video camera rolling which caused us to push even harder. Soon I had a flat tire and nearly slid off twice before I figured out why. It had finally stopped raining and we pushed on. After a great lunch in the village we continued on. We were all commenting on just turning around the next day and repeat it all over again. We rolled into town way after dark and had the best day of our trip....as of this post we can not find any of the videos of this road...they may be gone...there are some photos of the dry section in day 5.
The next day we got the video to work and will post some of another pass we tore up. Later in the day we found some huge round abouts and went around so many time weaving in and out of the locals we ended up with a small audience. I guess we were bored and needed some obstecales to entertain us. The video of this is a little foggy due to the humidity over here. It might have been due to the beers we had too, who knows.
Fun times for all roads. Even robot and chubby are getting the hands free riding down.
