biking - dark blue bike 54:43 12.47 mi (4:23 / mi) +246ft 4:19 / mi
ahr:127 max:155 weight:138lbs
Upper 50s, S 10 mph. Very fine ride with Walter on the flats south of town, plus a little hill up by the town park. Waited until early afternoon after the fog had burned off and the roads dried. Felt like spring. And a Goldilocks pace, not too fast, not too slow, just right.
3 PM
Note
A few more photos. In Torres del Paine NP we stayed in a place called Eco-Camp for 3 nights. It had a very high opinion of itself. Among the possible activities there was the "Contemplation Trail" --
The sign marked the start of the trail, right where it was supposed to be (opposite the Yoga Dome), but there wasn't much of a trail. But just enough, and off I went.
It became clear quite quickly that I was the first person to contemplate going on the trail for some time.
Following the trail was a challenge. It helped that every so often it went by a spot where one could sit down and contemplate.
It also became clear that no one on the staff of Eco-Camp had contemplated doing any maintenance on the trail for quite some time
But, I must say, for me it was perfect. No one else around. A bit of an adventure (following the trail was not trivial). And easy to conclude that this little spot of Patagonia, like so much of the rest of Patagonia, would not be all that great for orienteering.
This was a late afternoon outing, and there was still time before I was due back, so then I walked up the start of the backpacking trail that heads off around the towers.
But I was only going far enough to get a bit of a view back to where we were staying. And then it was off to dinner.
