Riding home from the city is fine during calm days and when there is not a lot of traffic. Being in such a dry desert zone, dust is a real problem, and the moment a car passes by on a dirt road, huge clouds of dust swirl up behind it. The end result of this is being covered in dust from head to toe... even to having dust stuck inside my ears. Not a very comfortable feeling.
The road to the Quintas from Madryn.
So on days like this, the best thing to do is head for that tiny little trail that takes me away from this dusty road and gives me peace and quiet as I negotiate the remaining 3 kms to get back home.
