My camp spot was good. After the Easter celebrations and fireworks everything quietened down. I slept well, woke up in the middle of the night feeling cold put on a long sleeved shirt, I already had a merino base layer and long johns on. I went back to sleep woke felt cold put on my puffer jacket, I woke again but didn’t feel too cold. I’ll start with the lot on tonight.
Off road and up for 500 ish meters, it’s a long way and I put everything into the climb, I didn’t try to go fast I just kept going. This had a devastating effect on my ability to get up subsequent climbs. I’m sorry I had to get off and walk. 🥵
As I said subsequent climbs were achieved very slowly or I got off and walked. I’m blaming it on lack of fitness.
I lay under a tree for about 90mins. Then found a beach bar, Easter here everything is closed, I bolted 2 sprites and half a litre of water. And rode out feeling much more sprightly.
The campsite I was aiming for I discovered did not open till 1st May. My spirits lowered, but I found another campsite only for my spirits to be dashed again as it didn’t open till 1st May also. I rode on scanning the sides of the road looking for an adequate place to pitch my tent.
A Couple of Days Ride Outta.......
