Day 7. Ideal conditions for a long ride. I set off to the light of a full moon, and the day dawned sunny and not too hot, with gentle breezes. I stopped for breakfast at mile 24, lunch at 66, broke my former long distance record of 100 miles (set when I was 17) during the afternoon, and found a motel at 110 miles. But finding a motel was not easy and my shadow was getting longer. I was tired after seven and a half hours on the saddle. I had lovely views of the sea and waterways all day. It's lonely without Tom's company.
