Awoke late...was it the red wine, the floc de Gascogne or beer or combination, result like a sleeping tablet. Found out that wine straight from the vineyard does not have any sulphites...yeah!
Mountain biking uphill to feed and stroke friends cat. On a 29er with no front chain rings v dificile. Obviously a tricky off road descent -? Must have been when a 7 year old makes it and you fall off... That it's time to do more or retire.
Planning next stage of trip almost 1300 km to lake Garda may miss it thats a long way...
Pat and Claire encouraging me to stay, working out touring routes in Spain along coast towards Barcelona and even mountain biking in Andorra, both quite appealing - result would be 4 days less of hard riding... Decisions, decisions...may ride to Chamonix as its 800 km and still excellent roads and mountain biking ...
