Had chill-out day, got pampered, had lengthy coffee break, drank beer, decided rack wasn’t as bad as I feared. Put a metal strap round offending part of rack to stop it twisting. I also sorted out camera charging problem – no further excuses about photos except for lack of skill.Despite my rigid rule about not riding in the dark on this trip I decided to set off pre-dawn thus giving myself plenty of time and set my target as the first fast ferry out of Poole to Cherbourg on Monday morning to give me a chance to cover some safe, daylight miles in France. Is it just me or does this sound familiar?
