Little bit cooler today - but 122k was still plenty!
Spills and thrills.
Hopped on behind the local equivalent of a Jims Mowing guy. His "trailer" of grass behind his motor scooter was perfectly shaped to draft behind.
This sort of terrain was fantastic for cyclo cross and mountain bikes alike
Jonesy paid his optometrist $15 to adjust his sunnies to his exacting specifications.
One of the group needed to use the facilities. Went into a rest room out the back of a stop. Went inside and the securing of the door involved a string system versus the more traditional lock. Got the door tied down, bib shorts off and it was more your floor level set up. Took care of the next step as quickly as they could manage in the pitch black and 40 degree heat but in an effort to get out of there asap to rejoin the group back in the fresh Cambodian air has cramped pretty badly. After gutsing the cramp out and looking to wrench the door open to get some light, fresh air and freedom the opposite has unfortunately happened pulling the string / pulley system tighter. After some cries for help a local has responded to the SOS, using a carving knife to cut through the string. Good times..
I'm posting this at the end of day 3. There's some quite cool pics on day 3 and scenically the highlight of my trips to Cambodia to date..
Next post is half finished...
