on the road again

I left the potato field on Monday to ride 52km to Loberia, my next destination on the way to Necochea/Quequen on the seaside.
It was very hot but I had plenty of water and food and gave myself few stops along the way to rest, for about 45km there wasn't any place to stop for refreshments !!!!
The water became very hot under the sun, which gave me the idea of buying tea bags from the supermarket in Loberia the next day.



I arrived in a deserted town and found a hotel where I had a deserved rest and a good shower, the next two days were spent between my hotel room where I watched Beverly Hills 90210, The Simpsons (in spanish) and football, the internet cafe' and a couple of local restaurants where I had plenty of steaks and salads.
My left knee had started to swell a bit and was a little painful, so I thought I should rest for a couple of days before my next ride....

On wednesday the weather was much cooler, it had rained a bit the night before and the sky was still cloudy but unfortunately I didn't take in consideration the wind....in the last few days I could ride at a speed of about 22km per hour on flat roads, but with this wind I was forced to a 13/14km per hour.





I decided to stop 4 times along my 49km journey so that I could rest, eat and drink and my plan worked perfectly fine, given that the wind was quite strong I was happy to have arrived at the camping in Quequen around 4pm.
I put my tent up, washed my clothes and went to the supermarket to buy my dinner: I decided I was going to have my first selfmade parrilla, and even with only a few pages of my agenda, but plenty of wood and charcoal I enjoyed my chorizos and beers before dark.
