Just arrived in Chos Malal, a mining town in Neuquen Province, and am loading up on food and water for the days ahead. I´ve now cycled 3400km, making quite good distance on the paved roads.
The landscape has returned to the dusty pampas and being relatively flat and exposed, the wind has picked up again. I´m pretty practised now at battling through it - well sometimes! I´m also having to carry more weight, as the settlements are more sparse for buying food and most of the rivers are dry so I´m having to carry a couple days water supply with me - about 9 litres.
I´ll keep it short as I´m hoping to get back on the road for a few more kms this afternoon. I should be in Mendoza in a week, so I´ll let you know a bit more of the shenanigans I´ve been up to then!
