Breakfast at Costa nearly cost a fortune as the waitress tried to charge us £117,000- when we pointed out this seemed rather excessive she just replied that it's not me it's the machine! We escaped England for a few hours this morning after crossing the Severn bridge and heading through Chepstow and Monmouth meeting up with a number of fellow End to Enders en route and swapping stories and fudge. - It was so good to meet up with Liz in Leominster who's with us for a couple of days. A slightly more manageable 54 miles today maybe down to the fact that the computer says our max speed was 132mph - I think it needs resetting!

I used to live near Chepstow when I was a kid! Nice castle and spectacular gorge. Hope the saddle soreness is not too serious at this point!

hi chris, andy m here, sound like you're doing great! I bet the evenings are the best, a well earned meal and beer, (and dominoes, oh I forget we're in the 21st century). As they say in football, treat every game (or cycling day in your case) as it comes. Have you stopped by a cinema to see star trek or angels and demons?, just an idea,
ReplyDeletehappy peddling..
Hi Chris are you coming anywhere near Ormskirk?
ReplyDeleteHi dom! didn't realise this was your old stomping ground! Beatiful area... although wouldn't recommend Chepstow motorway services Travel Lodge. Perhaps you want to think about doing this trip on the Brompton?!
