Here in Santiago I am definitely back in the capitalist world there at least a lot of things can be bought for money, still I didn't manage to get hold of a bike.
The thing I never really liked about biking is how much about the equipment it is. So now it's time to prove it!
There are all these things you need to do to really
become a biker. I never rode a race and I never built a bike. Bike
shops are closed and won't open again until I'm already on my way to
the race. So won't be able to buy a frame and components to put a new
bike together for the race. Thanks to Fernanda, an absolutely incredible
personality, I will (or might...) be riding this weekends enduro race on her old cross
country bike.
I'm still not really able to adjust the gears properly. It will cost me a lot of time and effort, but I will build my own bike and become my own bike mechanic.
What more is different here is that it seams that the rain definitely stopped following me. Here the terrain and the trails are dry and dusty with very little grip. It will definitely take some getting used to.
