Well another rest day over, we are leaving a bit later today for a bushcamp, one of two in a row. The delay is because one of the trucks had a blow out on a front wheel as we were coming here two days ago. Needless to say no new tyres here, so replacement coming from Lima which should be here in time for us to start the day at 10am.
We have been spoilt here in the hotel with buffet breakfasts, I'm sure that any profit they normally make from their guests has been totally wiped out with 30 or so hungry cyclists grazing for over an hour each morning!! Also last night we went to a shopping mall here with about 15 fast food outlets, another grazing contest took place there too, what exciting lives we are living! Now it is back to reality of life on the road again, but that is what we are here for.
My cold is getting better so after a generally lazy day here I am feeling better. I cleaned my bike and that is about as much hard work as I did. Will catch you all up with the news at the next hotel, wifi being available. Keep your comments coming they give me a boost, and as I have said before - Thanks to you all!!

The Route
Hi Rob
ReplyDeleteI rode the New Forest On/Off Shore on Sunday and thought that was hard enough! Nothing, absolutely nothing compared with what you're undertaking. Missed you on the ride though - I've offered to help again next year so perhaps you'll lower your sights enough to ride it then!!! (only kiddin')
You've got me gripped with your diary. I don't want to swap places but I check each day for an update.
Hang on in there mate - sounds like you're doing real well so far. Keep it up.
Love from Margaret
