Mindo by Bike

sunny -17 °C

Sorry that its been over a week since my last update...........

So I´m back from my bike trip to Mindo.
I don´t have time to update with all the details but here is a bit of info and a few pics. The rest should be up in the next few days.

Day before departure:
Starting to get sick
Front wheel of my bike has a bad bearing/hub and the brakes are not that great
Had to borrow baby toys to modify my ¨hard as a rock¨ bike seat.

Post Trip:
Amazing trip.
Made it to Mindo in 11 hours with a few long breaks.
30+ MPH downhill sections were great.
Approx. 60 percent down hill and 40 percent uphill.
¿One dead guy? found in ditch.
Lots of strange yellow mucus coming out of my eyes.

READY TO GO
