Daily Disasters: forgot to organise evening food so only have fruit to eat this evening.

I slept so well last night and at 6am I leaped out of bed packed. Ate the breakfast provided . And was on the road just before 7. Always with my coffee I cannot resist a marmalade croissant. 

My route put in some really seriously steep climbs tosat, one at 20% and one at 15%, I didn’t get to check the others as I was puffing so much.  I did decide to ride them all today so I’m feeling pretty accomplished. Winding my way through hill top towns and villages. I couldn’t help but stop and buy something then sit down to soak up the atmosphere. Observing people doing their everyday lives is so interesting. The speed people talk,  the volume they talk, mannerisms,  gestures. Seriously I could be there all day.

He deserved a picture all to himself for that parking.
And always good to see a rugby pitch but I feel seldom used.

I had a choice turn left to the camping at the lake, but 40kms away. Or turn right to the nearest campsite. I took the latter but forgot to look for food on the way. So this evening I have only some fruit and a couple of cereal bars. That’s fuel for a long ride 😂.
