Friday we went uptimes to the highway and watched the Algarve bike race. it has been going on for 46 years. This year there have been about 164 bikers. Something around 24 off the top 100 cyclist in the world where in the 5 day race. It covers just under 800 kilometres.
Heard about the race this morning and thought it would be nice to see it. We drove about half way then walked up to the race course. We got there so early we decided to have a coffee. As we sat down I saw Ian walking along. We asked him to come for a coffee and he did. Last year Ian walked around England, about 4000 kilometres to raise money for guide dogs for the blind and was not in Portugal bowling. He is a very good bowler. Ian told us that he had spent 31 years in the British Navy as a cook. His claim to fame is he once cooked for the Queen Mother.
I film the race and hope the movie will show below. It is a very large file and is taking a long time to up load to Youtube.
