Cycling Day 26.
Exceptionally windy day.
This was a positive windy day and it pushed me along most of the cycle route. I was laughing with absolute pleasure!! Though my bike fell over several times – even though I propped it up against something.
We had a live radio broadcast around 10:30 with Jonathan from Radio York. At the time we went live – Andy and I were cycling along a cycleway beside the river Rhone with the birds singing and the high winds blowing.
I was standing here by the river Rhone whilst going live on the radio interview. Jonathan commented on the birds singing.
Around 10 minutes before I was cycling over a bridge and my top blew up ( around my neck ) and I nearly got blown over onto the road. I had 2 choices. 1 being do I protect my dignity or 2 do I hold right onto my handlebars. Well it would be telling what my priority was!? I laughed a lot!!!
Not a cloud in the sky – ALL DAY.
The fields full of barley danced along with their friend the barley.
We passed through a couple of towns. Most of the day was cycling on the flat and the cycleway was good, and this only changed to some hill climbing much later in the day.
A little tired and dust dirty – we arrived safely at the campsite. The ground was hard but with the help of a rock the tent pegs stayed in the ground.
However, this didn’t happen immediately, as the wind blew – the tent blew several foot away!!
Goodnight from me , the frogs , the grass hoppers and the mosquitos.
