Space Invaders

89.3km
731.5m
484.5m

Waking up by the road 40. Planning of the day: to ride the few kilometres that separates us from the intersection after which the road becomes gravel for 65km and to go as far as possible on this track. But we are lucky today, the wind is very strong and behind us! It's crazy: 25kph on flat road without even pedalling! We arrive very quickly on the track with still this same incredible momentum.

The track is not always very good, sometimes it looks more like a field of potholes or the riverbed full of big pebbles. We go so fast that our main concern is to control the direction, to avoid the obstacles and to slow down when it becomes too violent. A Space Invaders for real: aboard our little ship that continuously scrolls on the screen, we must avoid and kill the bad aliens on our way.

As good as it is to go so fast on a gravel road, we are really shaken. After lunch the wind calms a little and we get back the total control of our rides. We will end the day by the road, not great but we do not find any estancia on our way.
