Got wifi on the iPhone now, but a bit too knackered to remember all the details but I’ll give it a go.
So…this was by far the most interesting day we’ve had so far. To sum it up, I’ve never cycled and laughed so hard in one day!
Being a keen photographer, I decided to power ahead of everyone at full speed this afternoon, then off the bike and set up the camera to film all the cyclists whizzing by and then catch up at the front nice again, just cause I like being at the front I guess!
Our guide came across a wee problem with our route as well. We took an accidental 20km detour! So somehow we were looking to cycle across a 10k highway to get back en route! Even I wouldn’t dare do that! So it was then decided to load up the bikes and do a couple of shuttle runs to our safe point to then commence our final 25km. The last 1k was a 300m climb which I was enjoying a bit too much. After feeling like I missed out on some cycling due to the shuttle run, I decided to do this hill climb again. Not twice or thrice, but 4ice (sp?)!!! 3rd time my fellows Amr and Sief were up for it so I was obliged, then 4th time, my Iranian-Iraqi friend Amir wanted to do it again, so naturally I obliged!
Forgot to mention, my jellyfish stings are hunky dory now. Thanks for all the messages! :)
Tomorrow, we arrive in Rome!
Oh. And by the way. I did a strip show for my fellow cyclists with a Lebanese-Austrian and an Italian chap for €1000!
