Another great start to the day.
I had read there would be meteors last night and there were.
Slowly i descended through the darkness. I saw a group of people on a ledge waiting for sunrise. Its tough going down there are cuts and fissures across the path. I wrong move and you are off the vertical edge.
I was already in a valley snd saw no spectacular sunrise.
I rode through the day as a blurr i am so tired and the sun rips every morsel or energy out
Very tired tonight. Is it bad to suck honey straight from the bottle? Hopefully stop early in a hotel tomorrow. I was so tired last night that at 9pm when i finally laid flat i immediately slept and only woke at 6am.
I’m also confused as Garmin says all my rides are recovery rides an i need to pull my finger out! Let’s get one of them guys down here
When i woke i knew i had overslept but i rammed down some cold porridge and honey and a bit of water. I had limited supply and had to be cautious.
Most of the days ride was up. My legs were weak and i slowly turned over the pedals. I finished my water but lyckily found a church with a tap so i filtered a liter or 2.
Coming out of the canyons was such a thrill. I know I keep going on about loving westerns but 😲😲😲 what a joy to cycle this.
I really was tired and under nourished and under watered. I picked a hotel 3kms off the route and booked it. Unfortunately i was not allowed to cycle the 3 kms as it was motorway so 10kms later and down and up a gorge i finally get to the hotel at 2pm.
Lunch eaten, clothes washed, 7liters of water filtered. Feeling much better. Although i seem to have got a but of a pull in my hanstring, see how it goes tomorrow.
A Couple of Days Ride Outta.......
