6 Sept - lunching alone - Benavente - 99.4km

Last night I slept in a mossy oak woodland, on the shore of Lago de Sanabria, so beautiful and wild it has a natural park all of its own.

It was strange and eery going to sleep on my own; little noises jump out much more and time stretches...

I heard wolves in the night- we were told that what I´d thought were dogs on our way to the festival were probably wolves going by their behaviour- moving in packs, howling at each other and moving all around for quite long distances.
What I could hear last night were behaving in the same way. Eek!

Today I´ve done 100km already- I set off towards Leon but got a taste for the straight roads- I love it, if I´m pedalling hard, to actually be going somewhere at a decentr speed- and though the mountains are so beautiful I´ve got plenty of Pyrenees to come- so I´ve changed my route for a flatter version and am having a little rest in Benavente after a motivated morning- from 9 till 1.15 I did 99.4km, including various breaks for coffee, stretches, snacks, 2swims and a chat- what´s that, about 25km/h average? Woo!

PS Anyone know how and when to sign up for the Dyfi Enduro?

PPS Anyone know how to say "No chance you dirty bastard" in Spanish?

Love always x

  1. Hi Lovely! Entries for the Dyfi Enduro are early next year. And you will have to get a mountain bike as they wont let you enter otherwise. And the rocks would destroy your lovely bike! Love you xxxxxxx
