Day three, an enjoyable ride from our campsite in Bridgwater onwards and upwards into the midlands. We got all of a mile up the road before we pulled into a lay by for Bacon, Sausage and Egg baps from a truck stop. During this stop we realised that we had a problem with Lynch's brakes. When we say problem, we mean that they didn't work a great deal. Oh well, on we went.
The morning was dry and windy but thankfully the rain held off. We made good time to Bristol, conquering our first grade 4 hill of the trip and racing down into the city with a new top speed clocked by Grant at 52mph. It was Bristol were we got stuck... 2 hours of waiting in a quaint little second hand cycle shop called 'Jakes Cycles'. If you ever in Bristol then go here! It's the best place in town. They didn't try to sell us anything we didn't need, they insulted all the major branded cycle shops and went above and beyond what we had asked to fix two of our bikes and get us back on the road.
The afternoon consisted of just one road. the A48 for miles, a short stop for food and a new driver as Mummy Stops pased on the keys after an outstanding job and looking after us and feeding us, All through Gloucester and down into a little historic town called Tewkesbury. where we then navigated our way up into Wick (Pershore) for our sleep stop at Aunty Diegans house. They fed us until we were bursting, laundered our clothes and gave us several warm beds for the night, we are eternally grateful!
Tomorrow is a big one so off to bed now!
