12th September 2011
Logrono to Santo Domingo de la Calzada.
Another hot day ahead and with very little sleep in the last two night lowered my motivation to the point where I was unsure whether to do this stretch or break it up due to the fact that I was one day ahead.
In the end I decided to do it, I had to dig deep initially for this but once I got going I was ok. The trail was absent of large rocks for most of the way and so I didn’t have to push or carry the bike too often.
This was a continuous road of up and down hill lined with vineyards for miles and miles with a strong head wind .Maybe I was hitting some kind of wall but it was an uneventful and in some cases a bit boring , I became for the first time a little lonely and looked forward to the rest of the team arriving on Sunday to join me for the last week, however there are five more days until then and so this is where I have to dig deep, tomorrow is supposed to be a tough one.
Hi to Dave & Simon. It is now zero hour being 5am on the morning of Sunday 18th Sept. Peter Frampton's Show me the Way is ringing in my ears - let's just do it! Ruth has been a great support as always during the final preparations - I will miss her so much this week and hope to prepare the way for us both to have a crack at the final 70 mile walking section one day. See you guys in Leon later today - Colon.
