A late breakfast - the bike was not due until 1000. Good planning, as it had rained early on anyway. Everything imaginable was on offer in the breakfast room, even the very adaptor I needed for getting the iPad charged (odd, that; I got the whole way across outback Africa being able to hook up with the adaptor I brought, but it was not able to help me in the most modern venue of all visited.) Proprietor Gary really does like to assist his guests at every turn. Where possible, he even makes a point of taking folks to the airport.
Mark arrived with the Le Mond bang on 1000, and we did a bit of tinkering before I took off on a mini loop or two to feel the fit. The loan shoes fitted perfectly, and off I went, heading south towards the cape. It soon became apparent that there is more tinkering yet to do tomorrow, as the saddle soon became unbearably uncomfortable, cutting into my delicate bum summat awful. I am hoping that it is merely misaligned a touch.
Consequently, only 20-25 miles got done, and the afternoon was spent walking the stretch between the B&B and the heavily tarted-up waterfront. Yes, milk shakes were indeed available. Caramel. May go for that again.
