Toledo

Days off are always boring, when your days have been bursting with energy and pushed to the limits, to lie and do nothing is a real struggle. So i messaged my friend Shpend renowned for his sage counsel. I told him i was bored and also i was up on schedule and definately didn’t want to be in the north too early for La Vuelta. I also mentioned i had talked to a guy who had said how beautiful Toledo was. Shpend just kicked my ass and said, do a short day on Monday, as a recovery ride, to Toledo and enjoy the sights. Now I am here, I can hardly say how pleased i am with the decision.

Lay awake, looking at the room ceiling till maybe 3am when i finally nodded off. Waking at about 8am. Packed, coffee at the hostal and on the route.

2 days of absolute torrential rain had caused devastation.
