That is right, we barely recovered (6 weeks ago) from the extreme hill climb to celebrate David's birthday and now Heather claims to celebrate her 25th birthday again! We had found a birthday party pack in Constanta which with a little hand-grease was palmed off to the hotel staff where we were staying. The birthday breakfast saw us seated at a specially decorated table with balloons and hats, the works! It was a rest day so we had a 9am breaky start, by which time most of us were starving except for Cindy who was still blow-drying her hair in the girls' room with sea views.
Birthday dinner was celebrated a night early as when I checked into the hotel (whilst Heather and Cindy were doing their extreme best to locate a camping) I mentioned our birthday girl. A little bribe here and there seemed to have worked well as Heather got the entertainer of the night to sing her a happy birthday tune and the staff present her with a luscious looking cake complete with a rocket motor candle - which was un-extinguishable while it burned its load. Appropriate amounts of alcohol were consumed again.
There were no presents as we had not passed any bike shops lately. Had we passed one Troy, David and I had all planned on getting a bike-stand each for her. Not sure how three stands would work.
Anyway, the birthday girl was treated to a massage as well. As Heather wrote earlier, it was such a nice day we are doing our best to repeat it again today! ere I sit on a lovely deck with pleasant music, free wireless Internet and very affordable prices everywhere. We understand why Bulgaria is such a well kept secret.

Happy Birthday Heather!
The A.C.T has not been kind to cyclists lately. My collegue had a bad fall, another cyclist collided with a car at Holder today and Terry Connelly, ex ACT Attorney General and Supreme Court judge died suddenly yesterday while cycling up Red Hill. He was 49.
May the regular cycling and booze keep you guys safe and healthy!
