Stage 11, San Ignacio – Santa Rosalía, 1/31/2023

When I woke up in the morning and looked outside it looked gray, but when I stepped outside and saw that it was drizzling and wet everywhere it surprised me. I walked to the coffee place, I had two cappuccinos and a cake. I waited for a little bit and then decided to leave. It was drizzling on and off pretty much the whole ride. It was quite cold at the highest section of the right. It was a little above 1600 feet. I put my jacket on and off several times.
I did the same ride in the opposite direction a little less than two weeks ago and I was surprised how different it is going the other way. I did not recognize some sections at all. The ride over the hilly section towards the end was quite exciting. The descent towards the Sea of Cortez was spectacular at times. In Santa Rosalía I went straight to Hotel Frances where I stayed last time and I also got the same room as last time. I was happy to reach the hotel and get off the bike. Riding in wet conditions is not fun.
