Probably a good thing she didn´t sign that waiver. Today´s ride was grueling and very difficult. The temperature was a dry 105, and the wind was hot and liked to push the bikes around. The gravel was once again very sandy and difficult to work with at some points, not to mention, long stretches through the desert with little water makes one worry about the gas station shortage in the area.
Made it safely though, and we are about one day north of Mendoza, Argentina. Here are some pictures from the last few days.
