I am a new man. I

discovered kamoot – an app designed for bikers/cyclists that enables me to avoid those filthy gravel paths and pothole bombs (opting instead for paved roads as a default)

Result? I arrived in Zamora by lunchtime ! Having navigated beautiful, deserted, paved roads – overseeing wonderful countryside at an average of just under 30kmph instead of molasses-slow-anxiety on those ghastly gravel (Crunch, Grind, Swerve and Slide) paths.

There may be a God after all?
