Saints be praised, dry and nearly sunny to start. Gathering clouds but no rain, whoopee. Lie in because of short day's ride of just 53 miles. Ha, ha did I say just?
Lovely ride along cycle track into Hereford, avoiding the perilous A49. Local councils take note. Stopped at friendly Post Office in Canon Pyon for a welcome cuppa before heading off for the lunch stop near Mortimer's Cross. Never found out what was bugging him.
Was Tony being patriotic and standing to attention?
Nice fast ride after lunch but just as we'll we'd put on an extra layer. Then came The Hill To End All Hills so far, lIke riding up the roof of a house, on and on. Rapid descent the other side though, with smell of burning rubber from the brake blocks. Checked into The Sun Hotel, lovely welcome and room, and the offer of laundry services!

ReplyDeleteDavid, you're not on the golf course now! I expect 100% lycra, none of this collared shirt business ;-)
ReplyDeleteHope you get the sunshine that we've got here, and a tailwind for a change. Oh and don't forget it's a certain person's birthday...
