Tuesday 4 December 2018 Comodoro Rivadavia to Puerto Madryn, Argentina – 350 miles
The first part of the route in the video is incorrect, still worth a look
The Penguin Colony at Punta Tomba was worth visiting, despite the gravel road. Once I left the tarmac there was 49 miles of gravel to get to the colony. As each mile went by the gravel got deeper and more difficult to ride.
I hadn’t spotted the deep patch of sand that the ever present Patagonian wind pushed me into. The only thing hurt was my pride!
There was less noise from the colony that I expected, all quiet and serene. The eggs had hatched and the young were being cared for in their burrows. I guess the competition of the breeding season was over and catching fish to feed the youngsters was now the priority.
Keep out of the sand?
