Today we got a early start which got delayed at the get go. As we were putting the trailer back on Guille’s bike, we noticed part of the hitch was broken and there would be no going forward without repairing it. I happened to be facing the room and noticed that there was a stick welder in the corner with an electrode on it. 15 minutes later it was repaired and likely stronger than the original piece.

We were trying to outrun a storm which was forecasted to bring high winds and rain around 1000hrs. We got to our original destination with heavy winds coming from all directions early and before the storm. We decided to push on an additional 25km. We had a nice tail wind and made good time but not before we got rained on twice. Each time we got rained on, we were dry again within 15 minutes.

As we rolled in to our first potential stop, there was a storm front moving in pretty quickly. It was like a wave that just rolled over itself. Not five minutes after we got in, this video was taken.

The storm is here and we have planted ourselves in the little gas station shop eying anything that can be made into a dinner. I got dibs on the sandwich. Guille got the bag of peanuts.
