Etal U Can - 12th October 2019

I woke and was immediately relieved to discover I was still in my B&B bed in Galashiels and not as I had been dreaming sitting in the Focus center lamenting another DNF.

I woke again from the same dream, the soft mattress of my B&B bed troubling my dodgy back as much as the dreams now, I rolled over on my "wrong" side and found it more comfortable.

Finally I woke to Kraftwerk's Etape 3 blaring from my phone heralding the early wakeup needed for an 8am start.

Tour of Rheged - 5th October 2019

I hadn't realized I'd injured myself until I felt a dull ache under my rib cage.
I hadn't realized how bad it was until I was walking my bike up the Kirkstone pass as darkness fell unable to maintain a sustained effort with an aching back, a dig under the right ribs and legs of lead.

Bloody Toyotas.

Some photos from an otherwise excellent but tough ride through England's Tame and Domestic Scenery.
