Day 1 ride, food, & thought
Day 1 ride: 45 mile ride that took 8 hours. 13k climb. 12k descent. 18k climb. Long waits/rest stops while we wait for the last rider to get there. The ability levels are mostly beginner. There are more riders wearing Crocs and Nikes then there are wearing cycling shoes. One person said before today the furthest he's ever ride is 16 miles. The climbs we did went through the most beautiful landscapes Ive ever scene. After I told the tour guide how amazing it al was, He said, "just wait, you havent seen how beutiful our island is yet." On the 13k descent, as it was getting dark, it also started raining heavy. Made for some tense descending, but the group took it slow and we did well, although one person went down. Nothing too bad. Ill elaborate n post more vids and pics when I have time. Going to dinner now.
Day 1 Food: fried tea leafs and tea boiled eggs. Both delicious!
Day 1 thought: This is unreal. What am I doing here and how is this all free?
