Day 6, the long ride back

And it is proving to be so. I left, in glorious sunshine and 26 degrees at about 8:30. 

The ride has been entertaining and scenic but there are few places to overtake, so if you get a lorry, camper or tractor, it can be ages before you get passed it. Speed limit is 100kph on open road anyway.

Upshot is, after 3.5 hours in the saddle, I've only covered 130 miles.

Stopped for a cappuccino, which seemed to be 1 part coffee, 2 parts froth!

Weather has gone grey and a bit chilly as I hit the mountains but there have been some nice sweeping bends to keep me warm. Couldn't help thinking of Grizzly whilst I was sweeping through them at 100kph! 😃

I should shortly be hitting Saltburg. Bound to be a nightmare traffic wise. Fingers crossed.
