Breakfast was surprisingly pitiful – cereal plus cereal plus cereal plus oatmeal plus pikelets if early.
I left about 7-25am under an overcast sky with a southerly wind. This was a cross wind for 22 miles until we turned north and started to fly! The first 22 miles took about 1:08 and the next 41, including the town and red traffic lights, 1hr 12m! It was great to finally have a tail wind.
The hotel was reached at about 10-30am after 63 miles in 2hrs 40m with a max of 38.4km (on the flats!, well, gentle rolling country!)
Half the mileage for the trip was passed at sag at 31 miles.
The afternoon was spent up town, by hotel shuttle, at the post office, e-mail at the library and the Eisenhower centre. It was hot - 94°F (34°C) and sunny.
Dinner was another buffet plus menu. It was again a complete range.
