The bike repair went ok we took of, anticipating a smooth ride. Wrong, after 10 km I wanted to pump the tire a bit, but misjudged it and the bloddy tire blew! Happy enough, we had everything with us and a short while later the tire was fixed but then the electronics would not start. So a second visit in the bikeshop was necessary before we finally were on our way. The good thing was, we learnt a lot about the bike and we had a very helpful bikedealer who really understood what he was doing. (we can only resommend him: http://frameworkfitness.com/)
Again we rode along the Bras d´Ór Lake, with breathtaking beauty. And again, the wind was really extremly strong, it was a fight almost all the way. Sometimes we started to envy the people passing us with their huge mobile homes, in which they have absolutely everything, including satelite TV. Some have even their car attached like a trailer, so they move quite a load. When you sit on your bike and fight the wind for hours, seeing them sitting in this mobile castles, a coffee mug in their hand, waving at us.... well then it happens. But seeing their overfilled camping site, we were glad to press on and find a little cabin on a lake shore.
Our evening usually looks the same, we arrive between 5 and 7 pm, shower and then go find something to eat. Lately we had good luck and ate excellent dishes, including fine wine from Nova Scotia and the whole is finished off wth a shared dessert. (Even eating so late, I already lost 2-3 kilos, 6 hours on the bike requires more calories than I can eat during the day) At 10 pm we mostly are in bed, as we are both very tired.
