Sunny! Sang here comes the sun as we set off! Washed bikes off from muck from yesterdays Devon Lanes and straight to bike shop for repairs to all our bikes. Luckily bike shop - Kings Cycles has the fastest bike mechanic in the west working there - on his way to a meeting apparantly but swiftly whisked our bikes away for a quick workover. 3 bikes in 10 minutes!! My bike is back to it's fab self (Bobs)!
Off on the Bridgewater Canal to Bridgewater, nice start to the day. Our kids will remember that from a holiday where we looked at the planets along the way! Judith, please note I did not fall in the Canal (unlike some!) (Bobs)
Slogged along to Highbridge where we met another E to E going in the opposite direction. Told us all about the midges in Scotland so that's something to look forward to....... Good luck Graham, nearly finished!
Completely knackered by 10 miles to go to Bristol, but OMG, what a wow place to arrive at. The INTERNATIONAL YHA is right on the dockside, beautiful views all the way, only problem, had no idea where to go and SatMap not helping!
60 miles and 10 hours slogging!! Flat! Are we taking longer????? PS my bike has littler wheels THATS why I'm slower (Bobs).
Hello there. Wow what a fantastic start you have had, and no doubt an emotional couple of days passing through Devon. We hope the weather continues to improve for you..... so much for the promised best summer ever! I can remember taking 90 children to the Bristol YHA for a school journey... I hope you have more sleep there tonight than I had when there!
ReplyDeleteBest of luck for the next couple of days and we'll 'post' again soon. Keep it up!
Luv Heather, Paul, Ian and Jamie
Crikey! You seem to be wizzing along - really covering the miles!So impressed!But tell me,if its not a sore point, how are your bottoms???Not too bad I hope.Had a really boring day at work today - that's meant as consolation.
ReplyDeleteGood luck and keep up the good work. How many miles to go - or don't you want to think about it...? Judith Thanks Barbara for the canal quip - Ha, ha...
Hi Girls - It's lovely to keep in touch with you this way. Sounds like you are having a great time whatever the hills and weather throw at you. Andy and I will be with you on your challenge. Happy peddaling.... the Bullies xx
ReplyDeleteHi Babs
ReplyDeleteFound your blog! You seem to be going well despite the weather. James Craknell has had to give up on his E to E effort so .. more power to you.
