Breakfast at 8 , toast con tomate , cafe con leche , you can see my 153 day streak in Duolingo coming the fore.

The break established itself early with Tim ,the wee English fella (twef) , and CLS. The rest of us in the grupetto settled back to enjoy the day.

Coffee at the pensioners cafe was welcomed

Off past Gor on a big climb with the pecking order well established and attempts by PS to attack foiled.

It got very hot and Jenny was finding the e-bike too tricky , thankfully Paddy helped out and offered to take it for her.

We were glad to see Tatania at lunch for sandwiches in a cooling glade .

Then a quick ascent , followed by a long descent which saw twef and CLS put in their place, as NTSR core skills came to the fore.

A roll into the hotel with Tim trying but failing to egg CLS and Twef into a race .Lovely rural hotel with nice pool 🏊‍♂️, some discussion re appropriate pool attire with CLS who thankfully had his togs with him.

Brilliant route and thanks to pure mountain for a great day out. Maybe, just maybe less beer tonight.
