Today was shite.. really shite.. in cycle touring terms, today was like stepping in a steaming, fresh dog turd with bare feet, repeatedly.<\/p>\n

2hrs riding around lost before I finally started making progress.. then the riding was just crud.. just didn’t feel like it.. I finally found a sign to Rotterdam after crossing a couple of rivers by “punt”. I had lunch (more burgers and chips.. bleh!) and started again, this time with the ipod going My legs felt good, I felt good, it was just an awesome feeling and I rode pretty hard..<\/p>\n

Yeah, 100k, 6 friggin’ hours and an average of something pathetic like 17kph because 4 hours of the riding was spent dawdling around trying to get unlost..<\/p>\n

2 shoarmas for dinner and now I’m going to see if the hostel bar is still serving! Need it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
