Clint and Rosie Kiwi Bikers from New Zealand (well .. the North Island ) finally made it into San Rafael at 8.00pm after a day of setup and organising.
Rosie was pooped so we kicked her off her bike , sat her down with an
Argie Malbec wine, some salami and cheese so she could level out, Clint
and I taking care of the bikes and putting them out the back with Maya.
Great catch up over wines and fud, great to talk Kiwi again and catch up on the local homeward happenings.
Day 1
The day was a leisurely start with breaky and coffee, a quick organize,
get some cash exchanged and away we go, Clint and Rosie playing follow
the leader for the first part through the canyon, Ellen and I had
already been prior so we knew the way and the cool parts to see.
First stop at the reservoir and damn

Out of the canyon was a tar blast down the famous 40, into Malargue then
south to our camping place at Manque Malal where there are fossils …
well…when we turned up anyway.

Large expanses of not a lot

A walked around the river and the supposed waterfall we were supposed to
pay $50 EACH for we all felt it was a complete letdown and glad we
didn’t anything, we got told off for not taking a guide
Some minor adjustments to Clints bike trying to tighten the gear lever by slotting the slot bigger.
