Total miles: 344.05
Total hours on the bike: 28:23:42
After yesterday's easy experience, today was a whole lot tougher, and it was all down to the weather again. Strong winds and heavy rain made for slow and uncomfortable progress. Fortunately it was just a short run to our friends Donna and Ed in Rugby, my wife is working in Coventry tomorrow so she's coming down tonight too.
I've had no mechanical issues on the trip yet - with one day to go - thanks in part to a pre-ride service from Ross at Cycletastic. The bike is in desperate need of a wash though - at the end of each day we have both been covered in road-gunge, but I have been able to shower. A job for the weekend then.
My left achilles and my right knee ligaments have been in competition all day to see who can shout the loudest. I've been ignoring them in the hope that they will eventually get bored and stop wingeing. My left knee has occasionally joined in with a 'me too!', but I ignored that as well.
So, last day tomorrow - 60+ miles to Nottingham.
