Lessons from the road:
1) After a long hot day of riding alongside some postcard picturesque Caribbean coastline you may find yourself thinking that camping on the beach is the greatest idea you've ever had. So you find a secluded spot, ride your bike off the road and through the sand (with a few stacks for good measure), set up camp and jump in the ocean for a well deserved cool down. It's only a few hours later, just after you've fallen asleep, that the wind dies down and you awaken in covered in sweat and tiny biting insects that have somehow made it through the gap where your zips close. Then you are faced with a choice: do you get out of bed, find your insect repellent and spray yourself with so much that you can only feel the burning sensation of deet; or, do you lay there and hope that the insects drown in your sweat before they completely drain your blood?
