When a headwind is constant on the plains, you never get a pause from pedalling. No rolling downhill. No break. To take my mind off the grind, today was a podcast listening day.

Today was actually slowly downhill – losing 700m over about 80km.  Such a slow descent makes it like the flat. I stopped regularly to rest – to replace the regular rests of going downhill in a more undulating terrain.

The sun was beautiful. I enjoyed that – the rain is returning tomorrow.
