Description

Mostly just a ride to get to the start of the Austral and nothing special. Big highway with a dozen $1 tolls. Some beautiful scenery. Spots of torrential rain. Spots of high wind. 3 turns. An ambulance careened off the highway just before a bridge…looked pretty nasty…the emergency crews showed up so nothing for me to do. Bike repairs seemed to have gone well. Valve train sounds good and my two little oil leaks are fixed which makes my ocd happy. Found a hospadaje with a single room to stay in and a little covered area for the bike…it’s quite comfortable and the cheapest thing I could find although still expensive at $23.
