Training Log Archive: peterk

Bike around the mountain town of Dalat, famous for vegetables and flowers. Attractive countryside on dark red soil. Rolling terrain and mostly good road surface. Some fast downhill to compensate for the climb. Made a motorbike rider nervous by catching up to her and drafting. Bus transfer to the next leg

This leg started with a semicontinuous downhill leg of 30km. A lot of fun ranging in speeds from 35 to 57kph with the exception of facing two trucks side by side with no room to go except onto the grass verge. Apparently I am the one that has to move out of the way not the truck on the wrong side of the road. Temperatures pleasant at the top of the decent became extremely hot at the base. After lunch at the bottom a further 30km of flattish terrain to just outside of Nha Trang. Rest day tommorrow
