English Summary:Big 2800m pass with gravel road with big stones made for a big effort today. Sheesh, why do I choose these roads? (Because flat sealed roads are no fun!)

標高2800mの峠が今日のハイライトでした。ハイライトというか・・・道路が砂利道で手入れがほとんどないようでした。特にきついのは、水が流れたあとのところです。要するに、大きな石しか残らず、急なのぼり坂に、大きな石の上に自転車に乗ろうとするととても難しいわけです。何回もこけました・・・

Glad to see you still have your sense of humor! Hope that the twisted chain in your pictures hasn't slowed you down considerably either. How many people besides yourself have sat on your bike since the trip began? It seems like the number could be getting up there…
