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:
