Day 1. Siam Reap to Battambang

Well talking about riding 180k and actually doing it are two quite distinctly different things. It was hot it was humid, most of us set new sweating pb's today.
I'm still somewhere between beet root and tomato in coloring around the chops.

Speedos fluctuated in the group but I had 170 k's. An upside down 170k at that. Can't be arsed rotating it 180 degrees Either that or I'm struggling with the know how to rotate it in this blog environment.

Avg  speed 26 kph.

Lot of buffalo alongside the road. Lots of kids saying hello. 

Below  are some of the team in the dedicated cycling kit. Kit most of us walked straight into the swimming pool not long after we arrived and checked in. Everyone did really well today on a challenging day. Couple of injuries flared up. The youngest guy in the group Kain Nanne is 21 and had his knee injury flare up quite badly. Couple of nurofen and a knee brace at half way and not a hint of complaint all day. Thats a lot of ticker for a young bloke. One person had arguably undercooked their training, not that you could tell by today's performance. 


Right a very quick power nap for 20 or 30 mins then lobby for dinner at 7.20.

K, downstairs in lobby, one beer in. Will post tis and if anything funny happens tonight I'll do a supplementary post.

  1. Quinny Cuz, if you take the computer bracket off and rotate it 540 degrees I will the be able to read it rather than standing up on the chair, then bending over upside down, got a bit dizzy bro and fell off cracking my scon on the side of the desk, just got back from the hossi where they had to slot in some stitches.
    Have a good one and remember 'If it's flat tip it out & get a fresh one'
