The day started with breakfast in the room, for me anyway. Phil had been up in the night with the squits, so was feeling somewhat delicate. Brekkie consisted of some french toasts x 4, a small choccy cake, some biscuits, 2 cartons of orange juice, peach jam and choccy spread. Despite it being sparse, it was OK, The spare OJ and biscuits have gone in my cool bag for another day.
We had 3 stops today, the first at the Cremona race circuit. Grizzly and I stopped there in June, so this was for Phil's benefit.Whilst he was taking a photo of the sign and his bike, I could see some Ferrari sports cars going round the circuit. A car pulled up and an old gentleman gestured to me saying that the circuit was open if we wanted to watch. Nice fella.
Today we actually found some roads that we could overtake on. We're getting the hang of that now but not yet the blatting past in the 50kph zone, like happens to us. We took a break around lunchtime but purely for a drink. Phil was still feeling delicate, so no food was consumed.
Our final stop was for fuel. Unlike yesterday where the chaps were reluctant to let us fill the bikes ourselves, the lady today was more than happy. We like them brim full.
The last 30km were the usual SS16 nightmare. I hate this road, roundabout after roundabout and slow moving masses inbetween. Ginny overheated on it in June, so she's not too keen either.
We found the hotel without too much trouble and nabbed a couple of parking spaces. There are about 7 other bikes there now and maybe 7 or 8 cars.
Freshened up, I went out for a reccy, looking for places to eat and a supermarket, Restaurants were hard to come by but the supermarket provided me the chance to get a 6 pack of water and some crisps for the weekend. 6 x 1.5l for €1.98. A bit better than the €5 we paid for a bottle at the circuit last week.
We both went out shortly after for dinner and stumbled across a 'fast food' place. They did salad, so that ticked Phil's box. I had what seems to be a pancake type of wrap, with a chicken escalope in it and salad. Nice, washed down with anothe Birra Moretti.
Tomorrow we're off to the circuit. Not too early though, as it's only free practice sessions tomorrow.
Until then.
Ciao
