Touring, a 'measuring contest'?


To a degree yes, but I don't see my contest with others, it's with myself mentally. Setting myself a challenge, executing it and succeeding, failing totally or partially as with this Camino.


To reiterate again, my shock wasn't seeing someone riding an Ebike it was seeing someone young and evidently fit riding one and the thought at the back of my mind that this could become the norm in the coming years. Maybe others don't find that prospect depressing but I do.
