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?
