LeJog Day 4, 14/5/14, Into Wales (Just)

After 3 days of slogging over hills and across moors in the rain and the cold we had a much more enjoyable ride today. Flatter terrain, sunshine and a more modest distance meant our run from Glastonbury to Monmouth was more of tour. That was perhaps our problem, a large group of us ended up making so many sight seeing stops in Wells and Bristol that it was 3pm before we reached the lunch stop and 5pm before we got to the afternoon brew stop. On the way we crossed over the Clifton Suspension Bridge and the Severn Road Bridge. We stopped on the middle of the Severn Bridge to experience how much it shook as traffic thundered past us.

The days ride also gave us our first puncture as we descended a hill towards Chew Valley Lake. A quick pit stop saw it repaired and we were on our way again.

Our blog is 1 of 2 for the group so for an alternative perspective why not take a look at:
