Day Three

End of day three. Sri lanka is beautiful. One of the most stunning days today. Dropped from 2200m to around 500m. Mostly fast downhill through the highlands today, if it was a piste it would have been a 102km run, mostly reds with the occasional blacks. Sounds easy but tough on the old hands as very bumpy in places. My bike is causing problems all over the place. It was a police escort that took us all ICT shirt wearers into central Kandi tonight. Stopping rush hour traffic as our single file slow descent through the sunsetting town took us to our colonial resting place for the night. Toughest day but ultimately rewarding.
