A long, long day today. We were off at 0635 in the dark, and pottered through the misty, dawn light over rolling pastoral Devon hills. But quite a lot of hills. Our average speed was well down, and the GPS data shows altitude total for the day said 5000m. It tends to over-read by perhaps 25%, but even so it was jolly up and down.
Bristol traffic was pretty thick, with lots of holiday weekend cars and caravans, so we changed roads a bit to try to avoid them. Eventually we made it to the Severn bank and charged the last 10km up to the old bridge where the motel is just as it was getting dark.
Total hours: 13.5. Average riding speed: 11.7mph.
Time for Burger King dinner.
