Day 14 Oloron to Biarritz

I didn't ride at all today because of my knee. It was a very good choice because this afternoon my knee hurts even when I just walk, and it has become a sharp pain rather than a dull pain. I will need to take it easy for a few days.

The route today was fairly short but had many steep little hills. (not that I cared.. I was in the van) The weather was generally foggy and cloudy during the ride but it is now sunny in Biarritz. We will have a last dinner here this evening and then head home tomorrow. Right now everyone is busy packing up their bikes (except me - I finished earlier - aside from going downhill, packing up the bike seems to be the other thing that I do faster than the others ;)

Overall, it has been a very nice trip, although my conclusion after this trip and after PAC Tour earlier in the summer is that I only keep my enthusiasm for about the first week, and after that I'm just going along because I have to. I'll keep that in mind next time I plan a cycling vacation.
