Because of yesterday’s 115k I was worried about cramp, and with good reason, because I had two sessions of it, the left leg again, all three varieties, the calf, the thigh and the strange one near the ankle, but I got them under control both times, and no serious consequences.
Anybody have a cure for cramp? I’ve tried the apple cider vinegar plus cream of tartar plus salt, also plenty of salt, and magnesium, none of these do the trick?
Conditions today were not as good as yesterday, but they were ok, cool and overcast with a slight headwind. The original plan was to do about 85k, camp then do 100 on Saturday, but I thought of the cramps, and that 55 to Newdegate would do, then lake King, another 70, then a final 70 to Liz’s, and get there on Sunday instead.
So today’s ride was fine, I got here to Newdegate about 2pm, set up and went over to the pub for a gin and tonic, and will go back tonight and have another with dinner. Maybe the tonic will do the trick!

Not much to take in the way of photos at Newdegate. The lake is empty, we’ve seen it full and it looks a bit better
