Thank you to all of you following our progress and encouraging us along the way! We are now in Witney in Oxfordshire so we've made good progress. Nice to have had a couple of fairly flat days - very different to the hills of Cornwall and Dcvon!
After we left Yvonne's parents on Friday morning we did 78 miles to Bradford on Avon - it was an excellent day's cycle and we were joined for the last mile by Roger (a friend from Bath) who cycled with us into Bradford and joined us for a couple of drinks at the Canal Tavern. We stayed with another friend (thanks Matt!) and were joined by my brother and parents who are cycling with us this weekend.
Yesterday was 65 miles from Bradford to Witney passing through some lovely villages and picking up two other friends (Cat and Chris) en route. We're certainly sampling a range of pubs along the way and managed pub lunch and pub dinner yesterday. It's amazing how much you can eat when you are cycling!
Puncture count has gone up by one and fallings off by 3 (that's 2 to me and 1 to Yvonne). It would have been 3 to me but my brother managed to hold me steady when my chain fell off and I couldn't unclip (we've got those weird clippy peddles which is the cause of all of our bruises!). We did have another semi-disaster yesterday which was by brother's chain breaking....luckily we managed to find a random little bike shop near Witney to buy a new one but he was out of the afternoon ride.
Not much else to report I don't think...still smiling and enjoying it although we hear the weather might not be as good next week...
