Day 6

Forecast was for morning showers clearing. The forecast was wrong there was no clearing and showers became constant rain. Like Paul I was underdress and got cold and wet within the first two hours.
Wilf had the daily coffee ready at the first stop after two hours riding. I change into winter gear enjoyed the coffee and continued. We all seemed grumpy this morning due to the cold wet weather. It wasnt long before i was coldand wet again. So far I have found each day more challenging than the previous. Today was a battle with the traffic, the rain, the cold and trying to keep up on the climbs. I felt flat up till lunch.
I met up with my parents just after lunch and that really gave me motivation for the rest of the day .
The final 20km was relentless with climbs one after the other. They where not as big as others already but continuous.
Very happy to have put this day behind me.
I'm really hoping for better weather tomorrow. At least not constantly raining.
