Tour de la Patagonia, Rebecca, 2010

Local racer admiring my Specialized S-Works Era. This is the first time most of them have seen a high end women’s specific bike.
Registration with a little translation help. I’m not sure what I signed, but it turned out OK.
Day 1 Start. Riding up and away from San Martin de los Andes leading the pack.
Day 1 picking our way through the men’s field and the dust.
Day 1 hike a bike.
Day 1 finish and our life in a box. Each team had one of these boxes to transport all of our essentials and camping gear for 3 days. Reminds me of my adventure racing days.
