A hard days cycling, we both rose from the tent early and set off at a good lick but after lunch we'd completely run out of steam, and decided to take a 'short cut' into Budapest by following the road instead of the river. Three huge hills later we reckon we would have gone the other way but we eventually crawled into town and found a pub.
Today was the hardest day we've had, mostly physcologically, as the headwind was up in our faces and our legs we're tired but the road was mainly good and we didnt really have that far to go (about 80 miles total). So it was painful as the kms ticked away excruciatingly slowly (they have markers every km here, i really wish they didnt).
the bikes are also in need of some TLC. With the rain we had and the hammering theyve taken from endless bumps and kerbs on the stupid cycle paths here they arent sounding too clever. mine starting skipping gears on the biggest hill of the day, my personal lowlight of a forgettable day in the saddle.
