Leaving our little piece of paradise
at Greensurf was a little bittersweet, especially when we remembered
there wasn't any breakfast food left in our panniers besides coffee and a
couple tortillas which we gratefully ate on the beach. Fully
caffeinated, we took advantage of the first store we saw. However, the
selection was incredibly limited so breakfast turned into Oreos and off
brand Doritos.A couple hours down the road, riding got tough. A combination of small dinner, a smaller breakfast, 100 degrees by 10:30 in the morning, a strong headwind, and a continuous, gradual uphill all attributed to us feeling amazingly crappy. Low on energy, we took some breaks in the shade and popped electrolyte tablets, but the steady climb in the sun was relentless. Not sure when we would have another chance, we took advantage of the next store we found. This time, our nutritious snack consisted of donuts and coke. Funny how when you fill your body with only sugar how quickly it burns through. Luckily we had all downhill to the next town and rolled into a little restaurant, so hungry thoughts weren't operating quite right in our heads.
