I managed to get one post done yesterday before my laptop battery went flat – I’ve got the next one mostly written as well, but with sunrise at around 0745 and sunset around 1845, coupled with some long rides –…
Back inland again! (Stage 7)
I slept so well last night – I was in bed by 2030 and asleep about 1 min later I think . A quick trip out at 0230, and the next thing I knew someone nearby was packing up their…
Bouncing along the coast (Stage 6)
TMI warning: I had some stomach cramps and something of a runny bottom yesterday afternoon / evening and was concerned that might continue over night, but though I didn’t sleep very well, things settled down and I’m feeling good this…
Agadir rest day
A good night’s sleep with even something of a sleep-in, not really waking up until 0830 by which time I was well and truly ready for breakfast. As I was walking back from dinner last night I’d spotted a good…
If you go down to the sea (Stage 5)
I know that I start each post with the night before, but after eating sleeping is probably the most important thing for ensuring a happy day on the bike – a rubbish night’s sleep generally leads to a tough day…
The literal high point (Stage 4)
No roosters last night, but plenty of dogs to help keep things entertaining. I had to get up for a pee at one stage and the stars were pretty amazing – the moon had already set by then, and with…
Let the hills begin (Stage 3)
A totally rubbish night’s sleep – the flood light, the roosters, the roosters even more, and then people were packing up from 0530 despite the fact the rider’s meeting wasn’t even till 0700 – I know I need to get…
Marrakech rest day
Nominally we’re in Marrakech, but in reality we’re in a camping ground right on the edge of the city which is kind of nice because it’s pretty quiet here (aside from the f*ing roosters who have no sense of occasion…
To Marrakech (Stage 2)
I did sleep well last night! I got up for a pee at 0245, and then went back to sleep until people’s alarms started going off at 0530. WHY….? Coffee wasn’t going to be ready till 0645, and breakfast wasn’t…
Let the riding begin (Stage 1)
I didn’t sleep so well last night – I seemed to be dreaming a lot (no idea what about) but it was keeping me from getting some decent sleep – maybe just excited about having my bike and being able…
