I was ready to start the ride at 8 am,but the MD supermarket only open at 9 am.I need to stock up my food rations for 2-3 days before I can continue my journey. Wildcamping seems to be the only choice here as I will be crossing the most barren land in Italy.No tourists,and hence service camping grounds practically non existence.Hotels in small towns can be more expensive than the big cities, whatsmore for a poor solo cyclist like me.Today’s ride was not too tough like yesterday,but the heat from the hot sun did make me sweat a lot.I could feel the sweat flowing down slowly from my head and enter into my eyes, that was really irritating and painful.At the same time making sure that I drank lots of water and also have some reserve for camping needs.Enjoy some really nice downhills,but the unpredictable strong wind had my hands firmly on the handle bar.I could feel the unstablility of the bike when the strong wind hit especially from the side.I had to thank for the heavy load that I carried and the super wind resisted low gravity recumbent that I so trusted.My almost dead batteries got their new live in a petrol station for a good 2 hours of charging,thanks to the kind young attendent. We had a good conversation while I had my lunch of sandwiches and coffee in the station cafe.
