somehow @stufromoz managed to send wind all the way to colombia from oz. not sure how he managed it, but he sent a little bit too much of the leg sapping stuff. not to be ungrateful, but just a cool breeze next time? #cycling #biketooter #velophants #travel #colombia

i really need to check how wind affects heat indexes. i know where i’m from it makes it colder, but now i need to know if it wicks the sweat away in a humid climate. there was no wind today. i was drenched. so i tried riding harder to see if that would dry me out a little #cycling #biketooter #velophants #colombia #travel

that saying:”it never gets any easier, you only get faster,” is wrong when you’ve made such a drastic change. definitely getting used to the heat now #cycling #biketooter #velophants #colombia #travel

wild when the sun comes out in cartagena. glad it finally happened cause the plan for here is heat adaption. i /think/ i went through five litres, and the sun only broke the clouds in the last 40k… #cycling #biketooter #velophants #travel #colombia

it’s quite hard to see the sea on this route. the road over the estuary has mangroves on either side #cycling #biketooter #velophants #travel #colombia

i might get bored of riding in the same position for hours relatively quickly, but today was great until the storm arrived. had to start spraying water into my eyes cause they were burning. not sure if it was the spray from the cars, my sweat, or an ungodly mixture of the two #cycling #velophants #biketooter #travel #colombia

it’s good to smell sea air again. and today showed why you should wear kit when you train. far less sweaty than yesterday. although i didn’t bring a coat so of course it rained — but it’s like being in a warm shower here. even the standing water’s warm against your legs #cycling #biketooter #velophants #travel #colombia #cartagena
