We have 98 km of ripio (gravel road) to cycle before the next town. We do make it, barely, after a very bad 20k stretch early in the day when we doubted we would. The gravel was so loose we needed to walk our bikes on level ground, until a watering truck passed and we could peddle before the moistened road evaporated. Two Japanese geologists, and a Brazilian grad student, staying at our hostel are studying nearby volcanoes.
