Day 6 - 1,000 miles cycling across France π«π· + Spain πͺπΈ
I received an email yesterday morning telling me I have been moved off the wait list and now have a place (if I want) in the bear 100 mile ultra in America.
I have 24 hours to accept or decline. Itβs a dream 100 mile ultra for me. For years I have wanted to run this race. I just got the final email tonight to accept or decline. I would totally fly out if I could. But I think itβs going to be a no for me.
To fly out to America would be over my budget. Anyway Iβm on a super cool cycle tour right now.
Tonight I met another cycle tourer named Lilia from london. She is the first tourer I have met on this trip. We hung out at a picnic table on the cycle section of the campsite.
Wine and conversation flowed as the stars shimmered over head. Lilia is on a 1 month long trip around France π«π· on her bicycle. It was fun to socialise and have company.
Iβve been aiming for a campsite βΊοΈ each night. My original plan was to wild camp but the shower at the end of the day in a proper campsite is priceless. Tonightβs campsite cost β¬6.
Today was hot π₯΅ all the skin that was showing today is now tanned and the skin under my shorts is not so tanned, Iβm two toned.
I had two cool conversations today. One with a 70 year old marathon runner who gave me water from his home and a guy at a bar talked about his job of building homes prepared for an earth π disaster.
Iβm falling asleep π΄ goodnight
