John O'Groats to Land's End - 1989
August 25th - Monmouth to Bath (50 miles)
Terrific ride from Monmouth along the Wye Valley, with a long
cimb out of Tintern followed by a great drop into Chepstow,
our lunch stop. Then the day changed with continuous rain for
the rest of the ride. After crossing the new Severn Bridge we
decided against the scenic route through the lanes and kept to
the main road via Avonmouth and Bristol. The chain on Julie's
bike started to slip, so we celebrated and actually bought some
oil. Trying to find our way through Bath we got lost, sorted it
out and then made our last-ditch effort up Bathwick Hill to the
hostel. NEXT
