What a wrench gettin up early, the room was great but the bed a bit soft for me. After the pool i had what felt like a mormal meal in the hotel restaurant. Highish price, average taste. Anyway i was pleased.
But 6 30am i got to the lift and luckily the doorman was in the lift with an empty trolly. So i rolled to my room and dumped all my bags on the trolly. I packed the bike and went in for a coffee, oh the joy.
The down hill was spectacular. I saw two cyclists coming up, but neither of us were of a mind to stop and talk. The early morning gave me empty big roads. Enough time to get onto a smaller road before the busyness built up.
At about 11 i decided i needed a break so i found a supermarket bought lits of drinks, and went into a beautifully manicured park all to myself. I aat and lay and read and relaxed but it took a good 90 mins for my body and breathing to relax.
I wanted to do about 130kms today to give myself 60kms for tomorrow. Nice relaxed ride. I had scoped out a couple of hopeful spots on Google maps last night. And the first place seemed good. So i rolled in and pitched up the tent. Lets hope the gate i went through is not locked tomorrow morning 😬
A Couple of Days Ride Outta.......
