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
