The trip is getting easier, regarding confidence in the whole thing. I must admit that on day three I decided to get to Athens, and then hire a car to Rob's cos the self belief was hard to come by. Not a chance now. I'm falling into the pattern of eating, pedaling, blogging, eating, sleeping better now. But it's hard to leave shelter each time.
I guess that's my heads-up for other new couchsurfers. Don't enjoy your couch too much!
The other day I clocked 38.9 mph going downhill. In England we have an advert that shows a broken little girl having been hit at 40mph. The tagline is that at 40 there is an 80% chance she'll die. At 30 it's 80% that she will live. (And at 80mph you would have flown by her before she set foot in the road!).
Anyway, that flashed through my head and I realised that if I was to come off at that speed... well... won't being doing that again in a hurry! So advertising works.
