No pain …

… no gain.

Well I’m definitely a cyclist not a hiker. Bad knee yesterday and stiff legs last night and today the legs were better but still painful to walk. And when I do I look like a someone out of Monty Python’s Ministry of silly walks.

Give me a 50-60 miles ride, heck even 135 miles in one go, I’m tired after but not incapacitated.

 

So I had a sleep in, to rest my old bones for tomorrow’s mountain biking, while Peli pegged it up the Tourmalet in 1h21m and then back.

We then all headed out up to Le Lienz for Peli and her sister and their dad to go for an hours horse riding. And me and Peli’s mum had a small walk up to a old ski jump. And then a sit in the shade in a bar next to the stables while nattering away :)
