Lance Armstrong - eat your heart out !!

Monday 24th May 2010
I was up for 7 a.m.,although lay in till in 8 a.m....
I had decided to cycle to Fuente De again...
two reasons
1) to see if I could do the tortous ride again
2)to check if the campsite was open yet ! -if it was I would move there..
At 9 a.m. I set off on the Road towards Fuente De, it was already quite warm, although there were occasional clouds scooting across the sky,giving me a break !
Immediately the climb was tough, but as I passed through the village of La Iscelles, I knew I had cracked it, I had got over the biggest hill, but still had some way to go, but I knew it was going to be OK...
11 a.m. saw me swooping into Fuente De..2 hours, 2 stops, 2 ceral bars,1 Litre of water !!
I had another ice cream, rested, checked the campsite- still closed !
Then set offf for my return journey...I swooped down the mountain roads, it was fantastic...nothing overtook me (almost) I took the bends like an Olympic rider, I had the Roads to myself, and cut all corners, and bends,brilliant..arriving back at the Campsite in less than thirty minutes !!
Average speed 27.4 MPH, Time 27-06 mins,Max speed 44.4 mph,12.37 miles
Rest, and back to the washing....
Plans for my next move...
