Cycling days 31-34: Durango to Zacatecas
... Day 32 (1/18/11): 119km
The extreme temperature difference between night and day is like the difference between…well, uh…night and day! We wake up to frozen water bottles again and this time our bananas for breakfast are frozen as well. We start riding completely layered up, but by 10am we start stripping and the sun at this altitude feels very intense. Ever since we started our Transcontinental Triathlon, ...

They just all quietly watched the ledge in amazement as some sweaty gringo with cameras dangling off of him, non-elegantly scrambled over ...
Las Cruces to Zacatecas
... to mention that before we crossed the border we spent the night at Las Cruces. Lindsay got sick during the night and vomited (a lot) all over her bed and on and in my sleeping bag! SHe was up all night vomiting and sitting on the loo. The next morning she had a shower and only threw up three times in the car. By 2pm she was managing to keep down some gatorade. She had about quarter of the Hamburguesa but was feeling much better. THis morning ...
