Easy start and a windy tougher finish.

Road started flat through dry regions. Occasional bits of agriculture but mostly dry cactus and scrub. I had left not long after sunrise in part to get early if the wind kicked up. Photo above shows another of those local memorials.

Photo looks like they might be protecting the fruit.

After 36km started a very gentle climb to a mesa and then after less flat and a lot more little hills including an occasional quick dip but then a 6-8% climb on the other end. Despite the people in the photo, I think this restaurant was actually closed.

Several longer climbs and as I crested on near 60km, suddenly the wind picked up. First gently but with surprising strength after that. I was fortunate that San Ignacio was less then 10km away since wind was making it a lot more difficult.

Saw this sign for bicycle camping, though also saw a nice motel that offered chance to get out of the wind. San Ignacio has several road-side businesses including this one, but town is in a little valley a little bit ahead and off to the south.
