About 10 mile from home on a 35 mile ride I started catching up with someone ahead .Normally I am the one being passed so this is an event for me :-)
As I draw close I can see why the guy isnt too quick, he is well laden down with panniers ,camping gear etc and believe it or not a surfboard strapped down the right side of the bike on a specially made rack that allowed his right leg to go between the board and the bike.
Considering the weight of kit on the bike I now realize that this is one strong cyclist, got chatting and he is 6 days into a tour heading for Northern Spain.
I rode with him for a bit and through the town so I could leave him close to his mates house where he would be spending the night.This added about 15 miles to my ride but what a privilidge to ride along side someone like that.Good Luck "H" if you should ever read this. Wishing you a great tour.
