Day 226                                                      2nd March

48 miles (Bouleman to Sefrou<\/span><\/span>) Average speed 10.4 mph Top speed 34 mph<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I said goodbye to Said and left up a steep drive, then along the 1.5 km track which wasn’t as bad in the light of day. I went uphill to start and with the wind at my left side. I struggled to get going and stopped quite a few times in the first 1.5 hours, many different things bothered me. I was too cold, then too hot in the climbs. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Too hot, too cold, too uncomfortable<\/p><\/div>\n

My tights were uncomfortable and I needed regular drink stops. Eventually after a good talking to, I stopped on a big incline, took off my tights, hat and thick gloves and made an energy drink. I knew there was nothing for at least 20 miles and I was pretty miserable but the change and the talking to did me good. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Birdsong and green trees<\/p><\/div>\n

With the wind behind me and little things like a ladybird or birdsong or the green of the pine trees all cheered me up. Also cars and people cheering me on up the big climb raised my enthusiasm.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
