Low mileage day

Location:

San Julian

Kevin is stilll not back to 100%. We make some startegic decisions. Our timing against plan is better than expected. We have managed consistently since leaving Santiago to do more miles than plan each day (with the exception of yesterday) and we have some fat to play with. If we just do 300 miles today, we can still make Ushuaia, a day ahead of plan.

As the record gets closer and starts to focus into reality, we don't want to tke risks that are unnecessary and the struggle of the ride yesterday has left Kev drained.

We decide to do less miles and be totally prepared for the following days and the final cross to Tierra del Fuego. We know that the weather will only get colder and road conditions more difficult and we need to be back on form.

So we stop at Pto San Julian (apparently Drake landed here to behead one of his crew!), have an early night and prepare for the last stages.
