Well this was a long time coming. Trying to get up to my room on the 3rd floor here is like watching paint dry. Elderly folk slowly lifting their quivering leg to the next step before a minute pause, a moan about vertigo and a questioning comment about how many calories they are burning off by not queing for the lift. Without being rude, I think actually id rather you waited for the lift. Least then I won't have to call an ambulance when you fall.
Seriously though, this was a long time coming. Im on the road again.
The day was a series of challenges, from finding my way over the Avon and Severn bridges (theres a cycle path alongside the motorway) to the hills of Monmouthshire. I also managed to get my front wheel stuck in a drain and as such now have a bent wheel, something ill have to try and get repaired tomorrow. Itll probably be a new wheel which is abit of a pain. The riding was really mixed, from quiet country rosds to horrible big A roads, it should be quieter for the next couple of days until I reach Liverpool.
Im at Wye Valley yha tonight which is nestled besides the River Wye. A nice spot but up and down a massive hill which I have to repeat in the morning. I met a few interesting folk including a teacher who wants to become a DofE instructor. For now im just happy to rest and get an early night. My fitness held out ok but its still developing post crash so I need to be kind to my body. Night all
