31st March and 1st April, Pucon
Rest days. Unfortunately yesterday (31st) Gareth spent the whole day feeling poorly. He was up for meals and fixed the broken spoke on my front wheel (thankfully it waited to break until the final 50m yesterday and I could walk into the campsite last night), otherwise he was struggling with an ongoing headache. I handwashed our dirty laundry, usually a job I hate, but actually was ok and I never thought I'd say it but there was a certain satisfaction watching all the dirty water run out our clothes as I scrubbed them. Good upper body workout as well!
Today, Gareth is feeling better although not 100%. A good time to mooch around town, write diaries in the sun and generally decide on our plans for the next 2 weeks.
The Leaving Party
Party and the off
We're off again on our travels!!!
After months of thinking about it, formulating the plan, booking our flights and last minute packing we were in need of a farewell party with a fine mix of Tod harriers, Calderdale tri club members and West Mount Vets staff. The theme was Heros and Villains, creating a good opportunity to get the fancy dress box out. Mr and Mrs Incredible hosted the party with fine attendences from Dangermouse, Trinity, Bonnie and Clyde, Calamity Jane and Wyatt Earp (or was it Woody from Toy Story), Number 1, Santa, The one and only miniture hero and may more.
Two weeks since the party now and our Bikes and bags are packed. A marathon has been run and we are ready to go......
