A very relaxing ride with a tailwind assisted me to cover quite a distance today.The weather looks cloudy and gloomy,but nevertheless the rain did not fall. There was a time i got a little confuse as the route 7 suddenly turn into a highway and a signboard indicating that no entry for bicycle. But there is a small side road with no sign at all. After following the side road for a while,i got irritated with the turning left and right,and crazy about pushing up the walk up ladder, i decided to abandon the route 7 and turn into route 113 and 398 along the coast. Nearer to the coast where i found tonight's camping ground, this is a privite run campsite but was closed from Nov till next year Mar.The management house was locked so i presumed nobody was around, i went round to find the best location to set tent,but no electricity and water. No problem as i had enough water for cooking.Not a bad day overall,started early at 7 am and end at 2 pm for a respectable distance of 72 km.Thank you for the tailwind and no-rain day.
Not going to push up my bike here,rather taking a longer loop
