January 15 :: Juan Rodriguez Clara, Mexico

January 15 :: Juan Rodriguez Clara, Mexico :: 62 km / 1016km total

The bus from Villahermosa pulled into Acacyucan around 1pm; now we're back on schedule. Tim and I quickly assembled our bikes and pedalled off... into hills! 60km of nonstop big rolling hills, and headwind. Very tough. Not wanting to push it too late, we stopped in a small town that has the basics. The next few days is probably more of the same. We are considering a more Northern, directish route to the Pacific - the lure of thatched-roof cabanas, snorkeling, and surfable waves is too much! "Direct" is all relative - we still have to cross up and over 6000 feet (at least), the Continental Divide, etc.

That is still a long and challenging road to get to the beach ;)

Is everything fine and dandy again with the shin?

Hey Kenton

I am mostly healed - the shin is almost normal. Not affecting my riding at all. The wind and rain are much bigger factors to deal with!
