DAY 6: 85 miles.
After so long in the saddle yesterday, it was tough to get up out of the tent into the heavy rain. I put the cycling kit on as it was clear that it was going to get wet anyway! I rolled the sodden tent up and with aching legs started pedaling again. It was much flatter today as we traveled north of the mountains and the miles ticked by nicely. No enormous climbs today! The sky cleared and we passed fields of bright yellow sunflowers. I managed to wash some cycling kit and dry it before an evening thunderstorm soaked us all again!
