Short day scheduled today. And although it is hard to live up to riding in Colombia and Ecuador, Peru has been spectacular away from the coast. The scenery, elevation changes and riding is fantastic in the mountains.
We are 1 mile out of Albancay and driving very slowly as a result of Andrew's latest experience. He did go slippy sliding at 65 mph. I spoke with Milan to ensure a slow start so Andrew could make sure his moto was completely functional. Maybe I should not have said anything as riding aggressively is sometimes safer than just cruising.
Right before my eyes on a first gear switchback less than a mile out of town, Milan goes for a slide. It was probably a combination of a cold, square back tire and too much gas on a really greasy switchback. Nonetheless, that's no way to treat a guy on his birthday. Milan turns 25 today.
Happy birthday Milan. Here's hoping that the day finishes better than it started.
