We rode 757 km with a 25 knot cross wind from the east - with a bizzilion monster trucks trying to kill us on a two lane highway. Every time we encountered an oncoming truck it would interrupt the wind and create a huge vortex that would buffet and then try to throw us down - this went on for ten hours.
We rolled into a little town called Ceres about dusk and grabbed the last available room in the Grand Hotel (not) before a hot shower, mediocre pizza, cold beer before exhaustion won.
We pushed hard yesterday so that we could arrive in Buenos Aires mid-afternoon and it paid off. We rolled into the city as the sun was throwing off that golden yellow before the long shadows - really nice!
Last night a storm blew across the country so today the winds were from the opposite direction and colder - cold is ok; no buffeting and it's sunday so fewer monster trucks!
A good trip - no serious accidents or injuries and we all had a great adventure!
