Tom! Shit dude, bad luck. Mebe a *little *rest up is no bad thing, as you say; though what crap circumstances to it bring about.
Today was 2 of 2.
It has now. The surroundings were gob-smacking, and the route was as good as any I've experienced.
We had four or five *ace *climbs, plenty of lengthy fast-and-flat sections, and some absolutely brilliant descending from the high passes. At times the view of the road stretched out for such a distance that it was possible to blast along without any fear of meeting anything that might slow a person down. Zoom!
120 miles, this one, and just over 3000m of climbing.
Over the course of the day I ate two bowls of Alpen, five flapjacks (one big, two medium, two small), three nutrigrain bars, two fig rolls, a few mittfulls of jelly babies, two and a half bananas, two yoghurts, a fruit salad, a takeaway tub of chickpea curry and a roti.
A top weekend, if ever there was one.
