1 April 2018 – I started leaving about 8:00
a.m. I had a full day of riding ahead of me and I wanted an earlier start. I
was loaded up and departing by 9:30 a.m. I plan on riding from Comodoro Rivadavia,
Argentina to Sierra Grande, Argentina. When I left the wind was hardly blowing
and it was another beautiful day. As far as the scenery goes and animals, it
was pretty much the same as yesterday. Same critters with a little more wind. I
passed thru a wind farm. It was windy there but nothing like what I experienced
further south in Argentina. I stopped in a city called Trelew and got gas, ate
a sandwich, drank some water and ate a candy bar. While I was stopped I
discovered that one of my gas tank brackets had broken. One more thing to think
about. It was back on the road until I arrived in Sierra Grande, Argentina
about 5:00 p.m.
I checked out a cheap hotel on the edge of town which was
perfect for me. Good Wi-Fi, good secure parking and no stairs at a reasonable
rate. 500 Pesos a night. I unloaded my bike, locked up the room and was off to
get something to eat at the local gas station. I ate two hamburgers and fries.
By the time I was finished I couldn’t eat another french fry. Another thing that
is becoming more and more apparent is the temperature is going up. I have been
so used to the colder temperatures down south that when I got into the 70 Fahrenheit
/ 21 Celsius degree temperatures I was dying. I had too many clothes on. When I
leave Sierra Grande I won’t be wearing my long johns. I will have to check out
the broken gas tank bracket tomorrow. I not sure how I will fix that and it may
require some pondering. I fell asleep during some movie on tv.
