🇨🇷 Día dos. Dos Rios -> east side of Volcan Rincon. Sometimes the best day is the one you didn’t want. Cool mist then rain then strong sun. Roads are bad in the best way. Ruts and rocks and lots of steep. Maybe slowest I’ve ever ridden, but steady and getting stronger. A great first day to build the base for adventure in 2026. North Cape legs may be a way off, but the strong mind remains. So, a steady grind. Sometime around noon, as the sun was breaking through, one of the famous blue butterflies rose and floated overhead for a moment as I descended brown dirt track. The ride is the adventure. Now just chilling in the trees. Bigger day mañana heading toward Arenal.
