Quite a demanding day I guess, as it seemed hotter as we cycled a lot of tarmac. One feature of this trip is when we're on dirt tracks and it's hard for the guide to determine exactly where we were.Leggi altro
Viaggiatore Can't believe you have only 1 day left! It seems to have gone fast but maybe not for you!

Whoops, nearly forgot to post this as zonked after 72kms, a message before dinner, and a couple of beers! Hard to crash as 6 floors down a live duo playing to the outside restaurant! So tonight we'reLeggi altro

Good day, 71.5km covered today (256km this week). Helped by early start, cycled out of town straight from hotel, cooler weather as we head northwards, shorter lunch stop, and fact we saved time byLeggi altro

Hit a personal record in one day, 55.27km. Again I'd be happy to shoot for 60km deffo, but those in charge felt as it was a longish drive to hotel we should knock it on head and finish. Btw, theLeggi altro
Viaggiatore Sounds like you are adjusting really well to the temperatures. And all your training is paying off too I'm sure. Looking fit and happy!
Viaggiatore Etta is grateful for more Granddad content :-). Long ride today! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 from all of us

Downtown Anlong Vegn, with a beer and nuts by a well lit roundabout! Then back to the hotel, to catch the bus as I don't think the guest house can cater for all of us!

Well, the main brands, Angkor and Cambodia, are ok if you're very thirsty but a bit bland, and I tried Hanuman which has more flavour. But as we got out of Seam Reap I saw loads of signs advertising this one, which is made in Cambodia but with a German Brewmaster, and it's ok but quite samey in the vein of many Asian lagers. As I type, I'm drinking a Changi which is refreshing but not a huge amount of flavour. But when we all go out soon, I'll have another one anyway as we're not cycling tmw!!

Well, I guess a success in as much as 1) I didn't need the support bus, and 2) at 52km that's the most I ridden, just, since starting training. But..... There were several things that meant the targetLeggi altro

Viaggiatore Well done for completing the 50k in such conditions. I’d imagine the SPF50 could easily come off in a sweat, humidity & dust mixture. Today will be tough. You’re wise so will know when it’s the right time to hop on the support bus
Viaggiatore Today would've been tough if we'd got to 60 or 70km, but for reasons I've tried to outline on today's post it was called off at 52km. I don't think the sweat has been getting rid of the SOF50, but the lotion + dust + heat has given me a heat rash above my knees, although that seems to go down overnight and it's less a problem today.

A good first day, not very demanding really, probably intentionally. Some people found the ruts on the forest trails a little unnerving, and we had to stop several times as the same people got freakedLeggi altro
