Riding reflections after day 3

Well here we are enscounced in a fine hotel, resting our weary limbs and muscles after 3 consecutive rides totaling some 350kms.The weather has been kind to us and the roads pretty smooth. The lads are all riding well except for me who seems to be the plodder of the group. Despite this, the riders do well at supporting each and making positive statements like " your looking thinner " and " that shirt goes nicely with your helmet." Morale is generally very high, but we are getting a little sick of riding on the main highway despite it's good surfaces. The Police told us to get off the highway today, but we ignored them as we had no other route to take to get to our location. After 3 days of riding the parts of the body that team members complain about are as follows: sore feet, sore wrists, sore legs, sore private parts and nasty riding rashes. We have all taken a tea spoon of concrete and expect to harden up soon.
