We expected it to be sandy and soft, like table salt. But it was one solid crystal. It feels like riding across the skin of giant soccer ball made of concrete… with each hexagon perfectly sized to drop both tires at once into the cracks. Killer on the wrists and back after 88km, but awesome for the soul and eyeballs. No need to carry electrolytes, you can just lick the ground. A long and unforgettable day on the bikes!
