Packing light for two days

The cafe at the halfway point was closed, as it has been every time I counted on it. Nothing about this route is remarkable, which is exactly why I like it.

Wider tyres at lower pressure changed the bike more than any other part I have bought. Rain was forecast for the afternoon and for once it kept to the schedule.

The climb is not steep, but it goes on for longer than the map suggests. A clean chain makes an old bike feel new, and it takes ten minutes.
