rio mendoza – puente del inca

47,52km 667 alti meter

nice ride along the mendoza river to uspallata. after that i turned my handlebar west and that meant against the wind. after about 15km i decided that the winds of aprox. 50-70kmh are not only not much fun to “ride” against, it is also dangerous on a road with heavy traffic and no shoulder. (the wind blew me of the road a couple times, but the wind gusts after a bus or truck made it unpredictable. that´s how i met veronica from mendoza, who was so kind to give me a ride to puente del inca.)
