Wait for it, day 5 dawned just the same as day 4! Today we had a cunning plan and we hit the internet to look at the weather in the Malaga region. we were here to ride and we could ride to the weather.
The plan was agreed, we would ride out to Malaga and then hit the coast road. We started off well and got lost in the first 2km, after that it was plain sailing.
We had a good solid ride into Malaga via the motorway, Karl having a close chat with a Spanish lorry, and met up with the support vehicle by the port. From there we time trialled 50k up the coast road, only briefly stopping to pick Dans gloves off the floor that he had thrown down (not gauntlets) in his frustration at a lack of coffee. Fully refreshed we decided there was only one thing for it..we headed back in the direction from whence we came. Richie joined us for the home stretch and we where through and off all the way back into the city centre, only stopping once the Garmin had registered over 150k. Once it had we climbed into the support van and drove back to the complex, the body closed down for the day. We had some debates about the route of the ride whilst were on the ride. It was not the best dynamic and we agreed to resolve it for the remainder of the camp
We had great weather on the coast, the sun came out to play and we felt for the first time that there was something about this Spanish thing after all.
Stetching and Sauna, lots of food, beer and cycling talk all followed in that order.
