Off and racing on stage 14. . .,, not quite !?!?! Marks bike has a rear tyre puncture! !!
UGHH!!
Oh Well, Bev will have to have another cold drink or two while Mark sweats it out on the repair.
Stage 13 and the peloton is still baking in the sun! It winds through Mosonmagyaróvár – try saying that even without a beer!?!?! Apparently this is the place to come for dental work. There are 350 dentists here – the highest density per head in the word.
After two great days in Bratislava we head off on stage 12 of Tour de Donau towards Hungary. Taking a slight detour onto an island, we come across the Canoe World Youth Championships!! Mark takes a seat and judges the Polish team as they brave the rapids – training for next weeks competition.. . . . looks pretty treacherous to us!!
