Wet wet wet yesterday - very hard conditions.
Avonmouth and Severn (old) bridges almost lost in the mist.
Travelling over the Severn bridge was a highlight - you really appreciate the view, drop and engineering!!
Hit Monmouth at 4.00 with spirits low - 50 miles left at 4.30. 8.10 end to the day - almost 13 hours out!!
Saw Joddrell Bank today from a better pespective, having spent the day riding in far better though windy conditions.
Kiers indispensable today - spending over 400.00 on the parts needed to repair over 10 punctures, wheel problems and general muck in the gears causing jumping and missing.
Now got Dave Parratt, Nigel Brookes and Jon Lord helping Alan Bretherton - there were some intersting driving manouevres worthy of Dennis Waterman in the Sweeney!!
Owen Smith has also joined us for a few hours to celebrate over 97 miles in a brisk headwind at over 15 average.
Going well - keep the comments and messages coming!!
Bren and the team

Hope you are all still going strong under the downpours and that your knee is holding up Rob. Over half way now, will think of you whilst lazing on the beach in Spain!! Keep up the good spirits and think of the tales you'll have to tell when it's all over. Carolyn xx
This makes "Deliverance" sound like a Sunday school outing. Good to hear that Dr Oakley's posterior is as red as the steak he had last night. Enjoyed speaking with some of you "live" from Santaniellos, where Les Croque Messieurs were planning for the EMC in September. Have lined up the next Chiltern FM piece- may let David Eales do the next interview, as he has a great face for radio. Keep it going, guys!
