Yesterday we stretched our legs with a 20km ride from Monaco to Nice. Today's training ride involved getting a bike serviced, which equals a 4km round trip. Somehow though I managed to stretch it out to 18km in an afternoon of being completely and utterly lost. When I did finally find the bike shop it was closed for siesta and we had an hour to kill before they reopened.
So, making the most of the situation, Dale and I decided to live it up at a beach restaurant while we waited....by ordering two cokes. We were surprised at how nice the waiter was to us for just two cokes, that was until we got the bill. 16 aussie bucks for two cokes. There wasn't even any vodka in them.
The above picture shows the view from the beach restaurant. I've put it up in the hope that 16 dollars worth of enjoyment will be had from it.
Hi Marika
ReplyDeleteYou have turned into a cycling groupie!! Poor Damian. $16 for 2 coffees ia also the standard rate in Greece. Stick to short blacks as they are half the price.
Sounds all very exciting especially seeing the great riders up close. I guess by now you have already done your first stage, the prologue. How did that go and are you in the lead?
Looking foward to seeing a photo of you on Mont Ventoux in a couple of weeks.
Good luck!!
