Day 80: alcohol and pier pressure
Last night my legs were sore and my motivation was low. But this morning, while my legs are still sore, I am rearing to go again.
So myself and Manuel did 80 km on the straightest road you have ever seen. Check out the map below. Couldn’t be straighter. Even GeoWizard would be proud of that line. Was blaring out some cheesy rocky soundtracks from the phone today.
Found a restaurant that agreed to let us camp out back in return for buying some dinner. We also stole some wifi
Made a very stupid decision to drink some beers with Manuel. We are both very good at playing along with stupid jokes. One of us drunkenly joked that we should cycle all the way to la paz tomorrow…
La paz is a “final point” in Baja and a big milestone where I will take a couple of weeks off. But this is 160 km away. This is a massive distance for me. But alcohol and pier pressure are powerful drugs so I think we might actually be trying this, though still not sure if the joke became serious or if we are still joking. Have decided if he tries it, I will try it too. Pier pressure.
