Day-3 of Week -2 on TEMBR

Tumbaco(7640 ft) to Santo Domingo (9990 ft) 23 miles.

Today we started late a we wanted say byes to our gracous host, Santiago and other ciclistas John-Freddie y Abeu who were staying there.

As John-Freddie helped me fix a flat, I mentioned to him that about 2 months ago  I went to Bikexperts in Medellin and Giovanni worked on my bike. To our surprise, John-Freddie knew Giovanni as they happen to be hermanos. By the way, John-Freddie is biking to Argentina.

~2 months ago John-Freddie's brother performed mantenimiento on mi bici en Medellin..

Rest of today's ride was uneventful except that it was a lot of steep bajada followed by steep suvida and repeat. I was wiped and fortunately we got to stay at a Casa de Comunal in Santa Domingo.

Sandy dirt roads
