Stage 1

I organised to meet my friends Chris and Lynne at 13.30. So when I woke I got up immediately and was on the road by 9am. I knew the road well hilly with georgeous views each side. 

It was tough and just under 1000m of climbing in 54kms certainly tested my legs. 

I popped into Cadier for coffee and cake. I really like Cadier as a town.

I actually thought our meet time was 1pm so was pushing it a bit to get there, the effort/speed/distance numbers were not adding up. But I got into Orgiva Camping at 1pm then rechecked the meed time. So tent up and ride on up to town. So I was early.

Then back to the campsite and loiter for the rest of the day.

This morning I sat in the cafe. Booked my ticket back to Glasgow for 18th next month. This gives a bit of time to play with now. And I’m excited to be meeting up with my niece, her partner and kids in Malaga for the 1st week of April.

I searched for ages for a place to hang my bike to do a bit of maintenance finally found a pole that I stuffed into a hole in a tree.

I’m hoping that’s sorted the clicks and ticks out. I made a little adjustment to the saddle 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞here’s hoping that’s better. Time will tell.  I’ve discovered that my back dynamo light is not working. Luckily I have a backup. I’m not sure how to fix it.
