This lunch stop, after a long hot climb (that’s Oli Townsend wrapped up in the photo, I was still baking hot even with the release of the cooler air up there, and despite having the eclipse to reduce the heat of the sun on the way up the 4×4 track you can see snaking away below), was pretty much the last time I felt truly “out there”… have felt like I’m inside since coming back to the UK… even when getting up high on rides I’ve been in or under a heavy cloud (not a metaphor).
