Huaraz to Parc National Huascaran

31 aug. 2010

🇵🇪 vanuit Peru

After a restday in Huaraz it is time to continue with our cycle-trip trough the Andes, and now it is time for the more serious stuff ... we are going to high altitudes !!! Today a start to 4300 meter, where we wil stay in a Bushcamp at the Parc National Huascaran. After a short breakfast, my belly is still not ok and can´t handle food at all, we left. Two rolls of toilet paper in the bag for emergencies, and some pills, and I was prepared for a tough day.

Not the climbing will be the biggest chalange for the day, it is keep my body under control that will be the tougest. After leaving the city of Huaraz we started the climb along the road R3. Lunch was at the junction with the unpaved part that was the entrance way to the Parc Natioal. Up till lunch all went pretty ok, some little issues, but still everything was pretty fine, but then ... the unpaved part ... shaking, bouncing and junping up and down on the bike is not good when the stomach and belly is full with gas and crap ... so the last 13 kilometers on the bike was hell ... I have no idea how many times I had to stop along the road, and it was tough. After a long ride I made it to bush camp where I put up my tent, and went to sleep. Dinner was served, so I forced myself to eat a bit and drink a lot. When you are at these altintudes, you need to drink a lot of water to prevent altitude sickness. Dinner, which was made by Edson and Francine our cooks was corn with chicken and potato-mash. I was´t into eating, but tried a bit. After a few bites of the corn and chicken my stomach start protesting and I decided to quit eating and try to get some sleep. Tomorrow will be tougher, and we will climb to 4883 meters !!! I really want to do this on my bike, and get a good night-rest will be crucial.

Adios !!
