Today's short ride of 53km under very bad weather,strong head /side winds adds misery to the cold drizzling rain started from early morning 3.30am . The sudden change of weather and temp gave signal of winter is around the corner, and I expect the coming days ahead will be tough ,but as usual I'm not one who easily give up - When the going gets tough....the tough get going !!! The original plan to cross Bulgaria today has to push backward as I decided to take 1 or 2 days rest in Edirne so as to acclimatise to the cold weather,physically and mentally as well. I badly needed a warm shower and bed tonight,certainly not wild camping under such "trying"weather!!
