LOOK!... I seems slightly odd to think that i've cycled all of that!!
But before i feel too excited - i've still got a long way to go - we're over 1/3 of the way ... but still have another 12 days of cycling to go! And some of them are going to be a bit tough ... but let's not worry about them, the last couple of days have been wonderful - great weather, wonderful countryside and lots of friends/family coming along to say hi.
We left Weobley on a heavy misty/foggy morning with one of Dad's friends cycling with us ... a serious cyclist who thinks nothing of pedalling hundreds of miles! It was good to have him along - pedalling at our / my much gentler pace and stopping for cups of tea along the way! The cloud kept lifting a little and tempting us with sunshine, the countryside was rolling and delightful. Apart from one long slog of a hill after lunch ....it was my favourite day -
Until today!
Well... what can i say of today other than i loved cycling it so much i could almost move here! The route felt flat but apparently it wasn't ... it was swooping, so that you could keep your speed and momentum up hills and swoop along .... and then my own 'Team Coyne' appeared ... The lovely Lloyd Williams family came from Denbigh with banners and loud cheers and would appear in unexpected places waving and cheering! Then they'd pass in the car cheering me (& all of the others) along .... to find the next cheer spot! My heart was singing as i was cycling wondering if they would appear - we lunched in Tarporley and then i cycled off ... and was at my B&B by 3pm!
My favourite day so far!
Team Lloyd Williams Cheering beautifully!!!
