Day 3 – Camino Interior

September8

Well, I lost another sock, at least now I am back to evens. It flew off a bridge and landed in a stream… it is a long story.

It was a beautiful day. I did around 36km over 3 hours and 15 min. I left at 8.30 am and got in around 1 pm (so 4.5 hours total time). I think it isn’t counting the time I am walking the bike maybe. The total ascent was 1150m. 

The challenge isn’t the altitude gain it is the gradient. Some of the back roads are crazy gradients and I just run out of steam pretty quick (esp with the weight of the bags). If the gradient isn’t too bag I can go pretty much forever.

The path today got kinda crazy in two parts and I had a fair bit of walking up steep slopes and down steep slopes. I road some which had a pretty decent drop off on the left which was fun.

This is bwb’s personal blog, so he can share his thoughts with the world, however scary or silly they might be. Plus family and friends can track what I am up to, and where I am in the world.

I am pretty simple. I love Mangos. I love the ocean (although mostly at sunset, as I’m a ginger). I love to travel, eat exotic food, do long bike rides, read, and use my imagination. At some point, I decided it was better to be a pirate captain than an admiral. I am a globalist and see the entire world as my responsibility and playground. And I am married to an amazing woman who makes life even more fun :)! And we are now the proud parents of Calico Jack :).
