Blog for day 3 is a day late as it was Jenko’s 40th
Birthday. Any spare time was spent recovering from previous evening or
convincing ourselves we can be elite athletes and have a pint whenever we want
one.
Yet again motivational shouts of ‘don’t worry stilly, it’s
another flat one today’ were slapped rudely in the face by Monmouthshire and
then Herefordshire. Oh my god it’s hilly there, and they are steep! If this
wasn’t a shock waiting to happen the heaven’s decided to opened after ten
minutes of setting out and we were subjected to rain followed by more and
harder rain for the remainder of the day.
We were joined today by on old school friend of Jenko’s, who
happily cycled from Gloucestershire to meet us in Clevedon, Fair doo’s! Ian was
not our only visitor to call Jenko and old man. Windsor and Penny joined us in for Herefordshire for some
celebratory ales’. Not sure if it's fatigue, but we are certainly favouring
Welsh ale compared to the south west brews. We lay down the challenge to Northern England and Scotland
Originally committed to not drinking until we
finished each day we had a massive fail today by a) choosing a pub for lunch b)
being confronted by this celebratory brew. It was as if the cycling gods were
speaking to us therefore we were obliged to partake.
