Cut off again, weird. It shouldn’t do that! Tch, you just can’t get the staff…
Worst road : No competition. The B5074/A530 between Nantwich and Middlewich Just awful for cycling. The old A30 between Launceston and Okehampton was pretty grim too, but it was pouring with rain.
Worst hills : Bristol. Avoid. Should have stuck with the more westerly route through Avonmouth I had originally planned.
Summary : We are both loving it. There’s no pretending that it isn’t hard work. It is physically demanding and tough at times. Fully laden with kit even small gradients see us down into the lowest gears, you just have to let the gears and legs ease you up the hills. But it’s fab all the same. We are measuring progress by regional accents, it’s amazing how much they change each day over relatively short distances!
It’s been odd not to cycle today, kept touching the bikes, can’t wait to get going again in the morning.
