I thought of that while riding my bicycle.

Rest day 10k

I haven't done much. I've enjoyed riding a load free bike, realised that I've got quite a bit fitter (not surprisingly but with all the slightly adverse conditions and the weight of my bike it's hard to tell. I usually go off how far I go between breaks which is admittedly getting foolishly far. And far too reliant on cereal bars ). 

I cycled up to the retail park in the hope of finding the correct gas canister. Thus route hasn't exactly been big on big towns so I've not had much chance to look. Having located that (and some tea, and some toilet roll) I came back to the site. I did a bit of wifi-ing and then retired back to the tent.  

I'm all ready for the impending downpour and have the local restaurant in mind as a handy bolt hole. 

As the sun has calmed down my heat rash is slowly evaporating and the bites on my legs are getting less itchy. I am wearing normal people clean clothes and feeling altogether more human. 

I plan to have an unpresidented second rest day to do a little chateau tour before hitting the road on Thursday for the final push to Nantes where hotel based luxury awaits me.
