RE: Travel Story: Cycling Estrada do Inferno | Southern Brazil | Bojuru to Porto do Barquinho (Day 2)
The good thing about the sunset is that it always shows different colours around the world.
Dude! That road was not only a dirt road, the photos hides it, but it was pure made of curbs or 'ribs' as we call it.
I took a closer look and saw those curbs.
I can imagine the pain...
If I recall correctly, on my only ride outside of the city I had choice between this kind of dirt road and the main road conquered by trucks, and after riding few meters on the dirt road, I went back to to main road.
But the dirt roads in the village that I go regularly, are fun to ride (when it's downhill). They're soft and smooth. though it's such a struggle to go uphill. A fair game anyway, you try hard for 30 minutes to have a five minute full of action and fun.
But I remember you once carried your bicycle up a mountain!
Problem with those dirt roads is that after a while the rear rack gets loose, mine snapped a weld \o\
Yeah, I'm dangerous (to my self) when I get bored. lol
