We are killing about half an hour until we can catch the bus to Oaxaca. Ted´s chain has been giving him problems and today it ate the front derailleur twice, really wrecking it the second time (in this town) so we walked across the street and have paid 8 dollars for two tickets to Oaxaca on the bus. There was another great bike shop here and they gave us the name of a place there that would have what we need in the big city. Didn´t want to take the bus, oh well. Serious hills today. Beautiful terrain. We met a very kind biker (lycra, helmet and all) who brought us to the bike shop here. He´s the third rider we´ve seen here. We´ll be in Oaxaca in 140 km or in about 3 hours.
Distance today: 41 km
Time: 3 hr 10 min
Total distance: 882 km
Ted: If beaking chains was like smoking, my bike just switched to crack. It totally bent out the derailluer. The picture really doesn´t capture how gristly the scene is. Swallowed pride taking bus to Oxaca.
