Matt was captain for the day.
The ride was hot, hard and slow today but enjoyable. We struggled up a big hill before Leominster only to be overtaken by what looked like a mountain bike doing 20 mph. Simon was all up for chasing it down , with the exuberance of youth , before Howard wisely pointed out it was an electric hybrid!
95 miles today from Weston super Mare to Ludlow, over the Clifton suspension bridge in Bristol.
Terry was a tad nervous as he does not do heights. We cajoled him into it with matey support as you can imagine.
Then a quick jaunt over to Monmouthshire (some call it Wales) via the Severn bridge. Along for the ride today was Rob Williams, Howard's mate and Headmaster at Yateley Manor School. Pictured below are he two of them with a prime benefactor to the school (pays fees!) Matt.
A cracking climb, honest I said that, followed by a great descent into Monmouth was followed by a van lunch provided by Asda and Steve the support driver. The glamour of this is huge, matched by the views...
When we pulled into the stop near Ludlow we were met by Jo & Claire, Simon & Steve's wives with signs and cheering and lager. A fitting end to the day.
270 miles down, 600 to go.
Cracked it?
