loreto
Erik and i are in loreto. our group is totally split up now. big Pete, Clyde, Dale and Gary are on mainland mexico. they took the ferry over from santa rosalia. it{s funny because i was doing most of the route planning so i always had all these guys asking me how much further and where we were stopping and all that jazz, and then after they left, erik and i woke up and started riding south, and we pretty much had no plan, and didn{t know where we were going to stop that night. it was a lot easier. we{ve met up with this british cyclist that peter was riding with after he left us. he{s in touch with peter. appearently peter got a cheap cassette and rear hub, hitchiked back up to near guerro negro where he broke down, and is trying to ride quickly down the peninsula to meet us in la paz. he{s so crazy.
the riding is really horrible right now. the scenary is beautiful, but it{s so, so hot. erik and i both drink so much water, and we never pee. i{m sick of drinking water. i don{t even want to do it any more. i feel like we{re constantly dehydrated. also i{m sick again. for the past couple of days i{ve had this stabbing pain in my stomach all day. i think the last thing i want to be doing while sick with food poisoning is biking 50-60 miles through the desert in extreme heat. it{s making me feel really, really exhausted. we got another hotel room last night in loreto and today we{re only going to go 25 miles. so that{s good. both of us are thinking of maybe going inland once we get to mainland mexico to escape the heat. we{re just going totally crazy out here. the other day we were biking through this canyon and i was like, "erik, i{m dying..." and we stopped, and for some reason erik started yelling, and it made a really cool echo, and so we just stopped and yelled up this canyon for a while listening to the echo. erik was like, "look any time we get too hot, we{ll just scream a lot." i just really don{t want to be this hot any more. also, i don{t want to be sick anymore. so, good news about peter, sad that the group split up. hopefully we{ll get to la paz in one piece. think good thoughts for me, cuz i{m not feeling that great right now. love,
