day of rest

Out on my bike about 9:30 having adjusted the saddle and pumped up the front tyre.

90 minutes over to Echenzell and back, mostly on farm tracks. Lots of harvesting going on - wheat and barley at this time of year.

At Echenzell I got caught up in a cycle race. I hadn't figured out the meaning of a homemade sign I'd passed. Then I saw the village firemen sitting by the side of the road under a tree with crates of beer.

Penny dropped.

It was 25 ° even that early, so I could have done with a beer myself.

Boy did I enjoy my breakfast when I got back to the house.

Now in recovery mode - doing as little as possible, as it's 32°.

Again.
