At least I was well prepared, look at my cool outfit, although some of my fellow riders told me that I looked like one of this person who works processing fish. Well, it doesn't matter, at least it kept me dry, or at least it did, while I was wearing it (with the exception of my shoes that were like swimming pools because I had forgotten my shoe covers). The sky was turning blue, and suddenly some black clouds made there way towards where we were and in a matter of less than a second, a huge storm poured down. This time I did get wet because I had taken off my cool jacket.
This is a nice view of the Valley Forge. And this are Tom (Tomás) and Michael (Miguelito) with whom we spent most part of the day riding and laughing. Together we had the chance of meeting some interesting folks (e.g., a man who was working to make his town as bike-frienly as possible, and a true unbeliever of climate change who thought of us as Al Gore's robots, and with whom unfortunately we could not dialogue).
That night we saw some amazing presentations, but there was one in particular that really caught my eye. David Kroodsma, one of our fellow Climate Riders and with whom I had the pleasure to ride during this second day, had riden 21,000 miles across 16 countries in Nortn and South America to spread a message to fight global warming. Please check a video about his journey (his trip included my home country Chile) in the link below.
