Done with four days of bike riding around the hills of Medellín, ay dios mío was that something. I swear a ride with less than 3k vert simply doesn’t exist there. But so beautiful, great people, good food, I’m happy as.

Flogged a knobby-tired road bike down a bunch of sketchy dirt roads, and lived to tell the tale.

Transferred from Medellín to Cartagena this morning, gonna spend a few days doing a more “normal person” type of vacation. Drinks, apps, seeing the sights, beach, blah blah blah. View from our apartment doesn’t suck at least…

hello o my ppl

FTP test this morning. Still not fun and it only went up a tiny bit. I'm guessing two weeks basically off the bike with some kind of horrible virus negated any gains I made over the last six weeks. Also got some kind of ingrown hair right on my taint that is making things spicy down there. So I got that going for me.

Went skiing (the slow kind) this morning, and again this afternoon. Having a beer. So that's third strike for dry January.

Today was interesting.

Toured our plants here and they make the ones in Canada look like a third world country.

Though the heat treating machines with random blue flames oozing out the sides was.... interesting.

Security at the plants is next level. Very controlled and they also look after general safety on the property. They use drones to monitor the fences and rooftops, which is cool.

The roads here are like the fuckin wild west. lmao

Interesting selection of cars. Saw a Porsche Macan GTS parked on the side of the road next to the most clapped out Geo Metro type thing. I also didn't realize they have many more brands here than up north, like Renault, Geely, BYD etc. Haven't seen a single Tesla though.

Also saw a Chinese flag flying at a different plant. Don't think I've ever seen one before, except maybe the embassy in Ottawa.

Beers for less than a Canadian dollar sure are nice.

I never went but my old company installed a bunch of crazy CNC machines in those plants back in the late '90s. I think they were brand new at the time. My one friend brought home an ex wife.
