Vietnam to Cambodia Day 3 by PaulLund at Garmin Connect – Details.

Today is the first of the 2 big days ride we have doing over 60 miles but thankfully they would be split up into smaller sections where we would be stopping for water and fruit. Unfortunately we would be doing only 30km to the lunch stop and then will be riding through the hottest part of the day again like Monday. Lunch came very quickly but was in a very nice restaurant, then we were on the road again. The rest of the ride was again split into 25km sections where split up as the following. first 10km was a water break, then the next 10km was a water break then the last 5km was a fruit break where we would stop for about 30 mins then continue on. Before we hit today’s hotel which was across the Mekong river we would all be stopping on the bridge over it to take pictures of ourselves and the scenery. Today’s hotel was better than yesterdays one as it had better facilities and hot water, which was much appreciated by the time I got there and was able to take a shower. After doing 65 miles today I still feel great with no sore parts, the years training I had prior to doing this has really paid off I think and having my own equipment with me (bike seat, pedals and bar ends) is certainly helping. After the evenings meal and bike briefing we went for a drink in the pub ready for tomorrows wakeup call at 06:00.
