Day 32, 82km:(by Chris)

Today a relentless 6000ft pass of endless switchbacks destroyed Amy's legs and morale. The road on the map looked like someone had dropped a bowl of noodles. Following an all day climb and after the third false top, she declared 'I don't care any more, who knows where this road goes, perhaps into the sky and eventually we will get to the moon'. We topped out at 10,200ft then enjoyed a long freewheel 30km down the other side into a town where we could recuperate, ready to do it all again tomorrow.

The sign Amy dreads: Up, and then more up.

    Love Amy's quote, I hope Chris was sympathetic! Just think Amy, soon your legs will be as muscley as Chris Hoy's and you will be powering up those hills.

    My legs don't really look more muscly, just like battenbergs with the tan lines : /
