Wingman Summer Journal
Entry - 003 - Òscar D. Santana Gaffer
‘On the first day of our trip, a car hit my bike, and my rear brake was completely out. We still had six days and around 3,000 km ahead of us.
That day, it rained, the wind was brutal, it was freezing cold, and I wasn’t even sure we’d be able to continue the next day.
That night, when we set up camp, it was the first time I really got to use my Wingman tent. I set everything up, we had a couple of beers, and cooked a nice steak.
Then the clouds disappeared. The weather finally gave us a break, and I lay there completely exhausted, under the tent with the sides wide open and nothing but the mosquito net between me and the sky.
It was one of the quietest and most beautiful skies I’ve ever seen in my entire life.
The next day, we figured out how to fix the brake, and I went on to have one of the greatest journeys I can remember, riding through the Pyrenees.’
