After Cornwall and Devon, a not very hilly day. In fact we’re thinking of doing 1000 miles backwards and forwards in Worcestershire and Shropshire and calling it a day.
We managed to dodge the main shower of the day having a coffee and chocolate in Bewdley , another very pretty town. It was fun here, to watch an old person, who was clearly either senile or blind or both, try to steady himself before crossing the road on one of our bikes propped up against a signpost.
We were joined for the second half of the day by my brother Roger, who will be with us until the middle of Friday. There’s a brave man, where are the rest of our friends and family? I know sensibly not cycling anywhere.
The weather was fine today and we were able to fully appreciate the miracle of the early industrial age that is the Iron bridge at well…. Ironbridge, but being pig ignorant gluttons we may remember the ‘Belly Busters’ sandwiches at the Robin Hood more.
Average for the day 14.6 76 miles
No hills, fine weather, and only 14.676mph, hmmm - monging it!! I've got a granny in the para's (excused jumps - incontinence [they don't do Tenna Lady in DPM]), who cycles quicker than that. Come on lads, 'griz it out', and remember; "Pain is only failure leaving the body" I want to see a faster speed tomorrow and less smiling in the photographs - you're making it look like a goddam holiday!
ReplyDeleteJust how old was the old man and did he look familiar next to the bike. Theres no shame in food over scenery, I do it all the time in Bognor!!
ReplyDeleteI long to know how the two geriatric old fools are getting on, but low there is no blog update, further I have no idea how Gary and Chris are getting on!!!Pray tell what is the use of a silent blog? Surely after 70 miles cycling it still leaves the afternoon free to daub some missives for the entertainment of your fan base (both of them).
ReplyDeleteWhy is there a construction worker or lollipop man holding a bike next to the two cyclists?
