Decide to take the truck for the second half after lunch as tired. Don’ recover as fast.
Anna and Eric disappearing onto the tough road
Pissing with rain fir the start and forgot the sealed stopped after 10 k. Cloudy so miss what I am sure was wonderful scenery.
Gluggy corrugated dirt for 20 k. Slow, gears grind and de railer pulls and chain jams. Have to stop twice and use water bottles to wash out the gears. Not nice.
Finally sealed still raining push on with Anna. Weather improves and lunch comes. Stick to my goal of stopping. By the way a lot of riders bailed and the camping truck was full.
Got to Coihaique early after the truck stopped with air in the fuel line and had to cycle the last 10 k downhill.
Good army base town. Found hotel and left what was an average camp site. Warm bed. Dinner ato the camp site. Laundry organized and party at Martin & peter’s place. Supermarpket the biggest I have seen stopcock up with wine & eese for party.
The youth want to keep me up till 5.
Drinks and cheese till 1.00 then off to the disco. Bailed at 3.30. Great bunch of people. rood the 21 year old who organized the trip through sponsorship wasql very funny. He’ about 6′ 6.
Barking at dogs on the way. I call him my grandson. – he could be.
