A short cycling day today so we had the luxury of a later than usual start 7am without the normal frantic bag packing.
We set out from our hotel at Siem Riep and cycled to the Angkor Wat complex, stopping at the Bayon temple, the Da Prom (used in the Lara Croft movie apparently) and the majestic Angkor Wat itself. Total was 28km. Very commercialised and touristy, inundated with youngsters try to set fridge magnets, fans, hats, tops, bottoms, you name it.
And then it was over, medals awarded, strip the bikes of saddles and pedals and back to the hotel for a shower, swim and dinner.
We raised over £600 for the fire fighters charity and have had the most wonderful adventure
But crikey, it’s HOT!
