← Hodgelings Abroad
This was a day for the books. Riding a bike through a literal hurricane... At one point, we went 3km UPHILL without pedalling, because the wind was at our backs. The hardest work we did was downhill but into a headwind. Crazy! We called it quits about 2/3 of the way through when it got really crazy, and sheltered in a bus stop until the only bike friendly transit service on the island could come rescue us.
