We're half way !

We made it to Stanton Drew, 9 miles south of BRISTOL where my friends Ros and Rupert live.  Lots of hills at the beginning and end and a lovely gentle canal path then old railway track in the middle. We cycled the last 8 or 9 miles in the dark and the last couple of miles down a completely dark and hilly track!  when we left the railway track we were helped along the way and one nice chap took us nearly halfway to our destination. ....unfortunately for us he was a seasoned commuter and was able to climb a 3 mile hill at break neck speed. Sal and i were completely finished by the top but of course had to pretend we were perfectly fine ! Charlie Howell met us on the tow path in Bath and then took us through the centre of the city to get us to the tow path on the other side of the city. We must have been quite a sight....2 middle age ladies flying along in our bright orange and pink tops, behind a young lad with no saddle! We amazingly made it in one piece.  Another 52 miles completed.
