Your longest ride into a headwind

Two weeks of cycling down the coast in Peru. As a result I still feel slightly anxious whenever I hear Peru mentioned. Scarred for life.

But possibly worse was a few weeks later when we finally descended from the altiplano in Bolivia. We had planned a 200km day of basically coasting downhill into Argentina. The wind was so strong we barely moved even when going down 10% descents. Had to pedal every km. Proud to say we still made the 200km but perhaps not as enjoyably as planned!

I’ve just been tinkering with that bike…to compound the above…the rear wheel was buckled and rubbing on the brake!
