Homewards Bound

Had a very light dose of food poisoning with a short spell of diarrhoea during saturday night. Felt pretty off on sunday with a headache and diminished appetite. Had a lazy day to help recovery and decided that I would finish off the trip early and head homewards. Had one more night in a hotel in the Alps on Sunday and then drove homewards on Monday getting all the way to Deauville that night. Had most of the day free in Deauville for a wander / cycle around. Looked like a very nice place.

Got the ferry at around 4.30 pm and arrived on Portsmouth a bit late at around 10 pm. Spend the night at a premier inn nearby.

Wednesday was a long drive home which went very smoothly arriving back around 6 pm.

Happy with the decision to head home early. Missed 3 days in the hills but doubtful I could have done more than one of these given the illness. Had planned a few easy days my Lake Geneva before the race in Aigle. Having checked the results I'm confident I would have been last place in the TT event so no regrets in that regard.
