BT XII - Day 6

This is our only 2 night stop which means laundry and a day riding without luggage.  The down side of leaving your luggage is that you have to remember to take all your documents etc with you.....   oops!
OK a days riding trying to remain below plod's radar.   This was made more complicated when my Bluetooth headset completely packed up....... bugger.
On the up side, the weather was great, dry and not too hot.   The planned route was based on lakes and valleys and turned out to be an easy days ride with occasional fast sweeping curves (if a bit unchallenging).  There were a couple of fabulous passes later on in the day.   Although some of the roads may not have been top notch,  the scenery was outstanding.   As were the ice creams at the ski resort.
We briefly joined a gang of Harley riders descending a pass but eventually managed to work or way through the group before taking off on the open road again.
Incidents of the day include the oil spill (Whch fellow bikers warned us of and police waved us round) and the double car manoeuvre that almost resulted in a graeme shaped smear on the road.  (But obviously didn't)
