My day seemed to just keep getting more and more difficult. On the way back to the river it started to pour rain which didn't help the poor conditions of the road. I managed to use my waterproof case to get a little footage of the way back, but had terrible problems with the lens fogging up. I had to stand there with my hand against the lens for a while to warm it up and get rid of the fog. Then hurry and film a little bit before it fogged over again. But I wouldn't have gotten any footage of the ride back to the river with out so I guess I shouldn't complain to much.

I very carefully road back to the river and by some miracle never dropped the bike. I found the best way to keep the bike from gaining to much speed and getting out of control was to walk it down the steep sections with the engine off and let out the clutch to lock the rear wheel when I got moving to fast. Then I could also feather the front brake. That seemed to work pretty good.

In this video you can see how difficult it is to maintain the roads in this area especially during the rainy season. The water quickly erodes any work done on the roads. With out proper drainage they don't stand a chance.
