Lejog Day 4

Leominster to Winsford

Today I have mostly been eating cake.. and err cycling.

Early start again at 7am as I was looking forward to getting this day done. The weather was overcast and threatening to rain all day. Still waiting for the fabled South Westerly winds to appear - annoyingly from the North today. Spent the first part of the morning on an A road, before following a cycle route through quiet country lanes – most of the day spent having no idea where I was and trusting my GPS. My ankle was sore for the first hour or so but the ibuprofen must have kicked in, so it was just uncomfortable for the rest of the day. A strange day as it was pleasant enough, but I didn’t take many pictures – all too similar to back home and really just focussed on getting it done. Arrived in Winsford at 3.30 and I’m pleased to be staying in a comfy B+B rather than a youth hostel tonight - this definately feels like my rest day (apart from cycling 95 miles).


Day 4 – 95 miles covered Average speed - 12.3mph
Max speed – 32mph Ride time 7h43
Total mileage – 407miles State of mind – positive

  2. Well if you want a cake eating challenge then Hannah's friend will only be pleased to oblige. They went on a picnic yesterday and she ate two family size cakes - one chocolate and one plain. Check out Hannah's facebook for the photo's!

    Keep up the good work, by the time you read this you will be half way.
