Yeah, it’s another slow news day on the tour. Yesterday we experienced the Sisyphus myth as we sprinted down each hill with glee, only to have to climb up the next one.
Today our route was wonderfully flat. We started on a rail-trail, then cycled the rest of the day next to a canal. We again rejected our GPS route when it got sidetracked into the hills.
What’s so Sisyphus about that? Well, every day we work hard to get the numbers on our odometer to go as high as possible. But the next morning they always go back to zero, and we have to start all over again. 
Actually we did have a couple really nice things happen today, besides the smooth ride. Our path was strewn with flowers, and we actually had some tailwinds part of the day!
