Kent opted to ride the pavement with me today, kept commenting on how much more enjoyable this was than navigating the gullies. Yep. And beer at the end too!

It’s a two day ride from Mulege to Loreto. We decided to skip camping on the beach, it was too early in the day to stop, plus it was next to a double downhill that the trucks descend with a racket. Instead we are at a nice spot halfway, with a restaurant for dinner tonight and breakfast tomorrow.

Pleasant riding, with a tailwind at the end, but enough climbing to make it nice to stop. I’m too tired and woozy to put any more work into this entry.

Did not stop at Playa Santispac, just looked and remembered when it was empty and free

Kent rides a bit faster than me, this is my view

Stopped at Playa Buenaventura for lunch, found it closed for Christmas week

The owner saw us staring at the sign, took pity and came over and cooked up some burgers

Stopped at Las Palmas restaurant at the bottom of the hill

The best part of cycle touring is stopping at the end of the day. The beers went down very easily

Today’s post sent via Starlink. Nevertheless, he’s still an asshole and a threat

Today's ride: 47 miles (76 km)
Total: 704 miles (1,133 km)
