BT xi - Day 3

Day 3
Sunny skies and dry roads, in short almost perfect conditions to ride 2 of my top five roads of all time.  The initial jaunt through the Campo to Castlejon canyon was fabulous with the biggest decision being whether to RIDE it or watch the scenery, the second decision being how much to watch the oncoming Saturday drivers. 
Some fast sweeping roads followed and i even got a decent ride through the Perves section.  A bit of road i have always previously hated.
The traditional lunch stop for John where he ate his traditional rabbit, this time properly, even using his hands from time to time.
After lunch it was 80 miles of non stop bends and big smiles all round.
Today's wildlife included the usual plus red squirrels (almost John's dinner) and a thing that could have been a dog, our maybe a llama, or perhaps a baby bear ?
Tonight's hotel is perhaps s bit faded but the owner has allowed us to park the bikes in the patio bar, so that is a little treat for Barbie
