Day 13 - Tour 13

We took the higher road along the southern fringe of the Sierra Nevada's, this was a lot twistier and slower than the lower route. Much of the remainder of the day was however 'making progress' roads.
We waved to the cowboy and I turned off into Fort Bravo, but we agreed it would be daft to buy an admittance just for lunch, so we pressed on.
‎The final 25 miles was regrettably another GLT with the very variable road surfaces keeping our speeds in check.

When leaving home I remembered to pack my Scotoil but neglected to pack the filling tube, so I have been using John's chain oil, which has now run out.  A portion of the day was spent looking out for large filling stations.  After a couple of failures, we finally tracked down a Repsol station that was able to fill out needs.  Or chains are now satisfactorily lubed.
Tonight's touch of luxury is that John and I can have separate bedrooms in our 3 room (and 2 balcony and sit-ooterie) apartment. 😀
