There was no day 4.... my stomach hurt so bad I thought I should just rest! So, I did... I worked, read, and worked on my tan!
Day 5: Hoping for the 2nd 100km ride of the week, I set out to do 3 full upper road laps. We had to clear out of the room by noon, so time was no on my side.... neither was speed apparently! ha ha... I felt good though, healthy and rested.
From the restaurant we always had lunch and dinner at (and DID not get sick from.... that was another place)
the pooch and I enjoying some quality quiet time before dinner.
Its not a good picture, but the ocean is right in front of me.... Today is "New Year's Day", families are out in new clothes just smiling and enjoying the day! It's wonderful!
I decide to go home at 10:00am. I figure if I had my 100km or not in, it is enough. I need breakfast (the Cliff Bar isn't cutting it and have eaten so little in the last 3 days)... the wind is picking up and I am getting tossed around a bit. So, I cut it 10km short.
Breakfast afterwards.... I was actually hungry!
Glad I was back by 10:00am.... the Dragon Dance came through the hotel and treated us to traditional dancing. The 10km and bragging rites of a 2nd 100km ride would not have been worth missing this.
The girls were awesome with their knives.
and back home we go, about noon....
4 days: 310km, 2000m climbing, and definitely some endurance in the legs.
