Two weeks down; one week left on the road!
Updates from Blake:
Tuesday, Dec. 24th 2:30 pm - I rode 97 miles through the desert mountains with at least 30 mph back wind pushing me!!! Two nights ago I had a super nice hotel with no cell reception and no wifi in the coolest mountain desert, I rode for like over 8 hours 70+ miles with the heaviest my bike has ever been! Glad to be here and done with it!
Thursday, Dec. 26th 11:58 am - I just got to San Ignacio !! I'm at rice and beans rv park drinking fresh limeade and gettin hooked up with some good food! 5 liters of juice in biodegradable cans! I've had gas station pasta and sauce for dinner the last 7 out of 11 days!!!
Friday, Dec. 27th 12:13 pm - Windy day in Santa Rosalia!!! It was mostly good! I rode down the (grade to hell) Cuesta del infierno today!!! That was nice! Just got back from walking around, finding the bank and a bike shop and got a pizza! Now I'm eating and watching romantic Mexican music videos thinking about you! {tehehehe :)} I was chillin at my camp site and this dude I met from Germany asked me if I wanted to go have a beer in town. I said yes and it was almost dark. It was a really sick town with a plaza and a super cool lava rock church mission. And there were dates everywhere!!! It was a desert oasis!!! I stayed til like 830. And his camp was in town and mine was a mile out of town. So it was really dark and cool to ride but I was scared I wouldn't find my camp! But I did after I got chased by a dog! And there was this giant light night over my tent! I kept turning it on and someone kept turning it off. Then this dog pissed on my tent an would not leave my camp! Then 2 big ass motor homes pulled in and had a ton of little kids and were so loud and they had to have the light on and set up their whole camp! My tent was full of sand! It was so fine it blew through bug net. Then later I had to get up and turn the light off... Then it turned on again and I almost lost it on this security guy.
I decided I'm moving to Mexico and working for jumex!! I love their juice!!!
I got a hotel!!! No hot water too:(
Saturday, Dec. 28th 3:17pm - Made it to Buenaventura! Camping on the beach tonight! So beautiful here I wish you were here!!!
Sunday, Dec. 29th 12:33 pm - Just got to Loreto! It is a awsome rv park! Got up at 7, the sun wasn't quite up and got my things ready easily! Perfect night listing to the waves on the beach! The ride was hilly and very pretty. Nice tail wind all morning and was here before I knew it!!! I'm at the Rivera del mar rv park and camping, about to have a pizza party for this guy!!! Doing laundry and listening to autobiography of a yogi...
Monday, Dec. 30th 12:21 pm - I didn't stock up this morning cuz I thought the next town would be bigger... It wasn't, so I had to ride back with super strong head winds!! Now I don't know of I should go or rest for tomorrow. I just got to a nice rv park!!! Got the biggest hill on the west coast tomorrow.
Tuesday, Dec. 31st 2:51 pm - Chillin with an awsome baby cat eatin sushi by the pool!! There were a coupe of check points on the road. They just let me through since I don't speak Spanish. They ask where I'm going and where I started. They're very nice!! They drive up and down the peninsula every day. I always smile and see how many I can get to the give me the peace sign and wave. They're all like our age!! In army trucks rolling like 15 deep. They're military with all the gear and machine guns. I'm gettin some mosquito bites:( There is so many butterfly's always fly around I've seen like every color possible!! My one guilty pleasure of the trip was from this bakery that opened in 1901 it was still warm from the oven!! I want one right now! I had a kinda big salad and a large pizza and two sushi rolls and like 7 liters of juice all day and I'm still hungry. Well I'm gonna read and I have to put my phone on the charger far away from my tent soo good night happy new year! Look forward to another year with the woman of my dreams!!! Love you sooo much!!!!! {just wanted to slide that one in there!}
DREAM BIG, RIDE FAR BLAKE!!
