Switchbacks coming down from 4,000m

Whee! Our biggest downhill run yet from 4,000m (13,000′) to sea level; we didn’t need to pedal for the first 66 km.  We wore all our warm clothes in misty 11°C at the top, shed layers halfway down at a sunny 32°C, then put more back on as we entered the coastal fog with headwinds and a cool 18ºC.

Peppers (aji capri) drying in the sun.
