In retrospect it might have been my
fault! Earlier in the afternoon as we neared our last Brew Stop I was
pondering that if I wasn't cycling I would be at work and at that
time of day we usually start getting the calls that you know are
going to make your late finish even later; “Can you come out and
put a dressing on Mrs Browns leg?”
At the Brew Stop were told Andrew and
Jill, the Tandemmers, had almost reached Clun only to be thwarted by
a road closure and Navvies who insisted no one was coming past, not
evening cyclists on their way to John O'Groats.
The alternatives; a 10 mile very hilly
diversion by road, or a 4 mile route through a hillside forest
following a steep muddy trail. Andrew and Jill chose the forest trail
an were even good enough to leave markers for the follow “cyclocross”
riders. It was a real struggle s we manhandled our bikes up and over
trail, with us and our bikes ending up caked in mud. Our group ended
up with four tired and cross riders and one cut leg where it got
whacked by a pedal. So in the end I did end up cleaning and dressing
a leg wound and getting home late, fortunately it doesn't need to be
recorded on RIO as there is no internet or phone signal in Clun.
Tomorrow we head for Runcorn stopping
en route to buy some new shoes (why not?).
P.S. any comments, statements, Jokes
etc, that you don't understand should be made clear at the end of our
trip when we will add a LeJog Uncut Blog
