Meanderings

The intention had been to get in some good distance on the roadies down here on the relative flatlands, but in actual fact that has proved rather difficult. The main roads are all far too busy to make cycling pleasurable and getting a good run without stopping on the minor roads is virtually impossible (navigation issues/closely packed villages etc). But still, we had a stop/start outing today and covered 70kms which took us down to the coast then back inland along poorly maintained backroads through the marshlands and through little villages, passing plenty of these;My legs also felt like lead which didn't help my enthusiasm, so I think a rigorous stretching regime is in order from now on to get me loosened up a bit!
