tres monos
we're a little bit behind schedule, but otherwise everything has been going as planned. we left medellin early tuesday, heading towards cali. yesterday we had a little 700m climb to get out of the city, then almost 2000m of descending down to la pintada. the temperature near the top was about 65 degrees, at the bottom well above 90. total distance was about 75k with 1200m of climbing. not much happening at night, we were all wasted (tired) and slept almost 12 hours.
today we cycled along a river for the first 45k, then the road turned up and climbed from 700m to 1800m. about 70k total. i was feeling the heat in the middle of the day and had to go very slowly, but was very fast for the last 300m of climbing. now we're in riosucio, about to eat our christmas dinner.
