July 22: halfway to Mocoa to Mocoa
Todays blog entry will be rather short, as I want to get a good night's rest before beginning the Trampolín de la muerte tomorrow.
The skies were clear when we awoke at 7am. Gloria prepared us each a hot cup of cocoa and tea, and we sat on the balcony watching and listening to the day begin. This valley has been one of my favorite unexpected areas on the whole trip.

Our route as a whole trended downwards towards Mocoa, but was still interspersed with punchy climbs totalling over 3,500ft. The weather was perfect, the traffic quiet, and the breeze pleasant. All-in-all, a good day to be on a bike.
The next few days to Pasto I will likely have poor service, so I'll condense those days into one longer entry. Here's to big climbs, (hopefully) sunny skies, and smooth riding as we head west for the last time in Colombia!
Today's ride: 75 km (47 miles)
Total: 1,935 km (1,202 miles)
