For the next month, I decided to bike in "lite" mode. I won't be carrying the usually camping stuff (tent, stove, cooking items, etc.). I thought it would be fun to try something new. So, I've made arrangements to get all that stuff once I reach Quito...
For now, I'm only carrying clothes and a few necessary items. It also means that I'll be staying in hotels/hostels. They are supposed to be quite inexpensive in Colombia. I thought it would be a nice comparison. But, it does feel like cheating.... taking a shower and sleeping in a bed is quite unexpected. Taking a shower at the end of each day is very nice!
It's very hot (again). The last two days have reached 106 degrees. At least it is a dry heat.... It does necessitate that I rest 3-4 hours during the heat of they day. It is just too brutal to be doing extreme physical activity during those hours.
