We had a 74 km ride today. Fortunately 40 km was on an old rail line that had been turned into a green path way. That avoided the ups an downs for most of the day that you get through agricultural land. So on the old rail track the worse we had was about a 2 degree up hill slope. But, you can still tell the difference after 5 hours of riding when you hit one of these “little” slopes.
It was also much cooler today, cloudy and an odd drop of rain but never enough to wet us. The wind was still there but we had sufficient trees lining the path that acted as a wind break.
So we arrived at our destination hotel at 5 PM. The earliest we have made it so far, only to find it closed until 6. Fortunately some of the shops were open and we could get a drink and nibbles.
