Today will be an early start so that we miss the heat of the day. So with the alarm set for 6.00 I am awake on sunrise. Jo mumbles that she want 20 minutes more.

So at 6.45 we go for breakfast, except everyone has gone already. Breakfast had started at 5.45 not 6.45 as we had thought. Oh well away at 7.15 is an early start for us.

We pass many of our friends from last night, some new, some we had been playing leapfrog with for the last week or so.

Todays ride was mainly flat, straight, and boring going between the wheat fields of the Meseta.

With 15km to go the battery on my bike ran out. This is when you realise how much assistance the motor is giving. Still there were a few downhills to compensate for the uphills.

The battery on Jo’s bike ran out with about 500mts to go.
