After a fitful night’s sleep, I decided to stay in Todos Santos for a rest day. I ate a lazy breakfast and then dropped by the bike shop in town. One of the guys at the shop gave me good information on the next section of the route. I extended my AirBNB stay for another night, which gave me the opportunity to nap, lay in bed, read, and stay out of the sun. Which I did for about six hours – three before lunch, three after.
Tomorrow I plan to ride to El Rosario and Santuario de los Cactus. Taking the advice of a previous rider, I decided to take the highway (ugh) out of town to make the day easier. I’m still feeling tired from yesterday’s effort. The new route follows the highway for about 20 miles, before turning on to a local ranch road and meeting up with the official route in Valle Perdido. I restocked my food, repacked the bike, and went to bed early to be prepared for tomorrow’s ride.
