It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best since you have to sweat up hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate rememberance of a country you have driven throgh as you gain by riding a bicycle

Headwind , bugger


25th May : Bandon to Gold Coast

Mixed bag today, lumpy ride with headwind most of the day ( meant to be a tailwind this time of year) , felt v tired at around 65 miles so found hotel, did some laundry, watched a movie, cranked heating up, lush. California tomorrow I think!

Highlight of the day, warmth at night

    Hey Gav! Nice one! Just heard from Julia that you are doing this! Sounds amazing. Make sure you give the Mouse a wave from me as you pass the land of Disney! ;-)
