Left Exeter at around 7.45am and quickly covered the first 20 miles. Only one puncture today to slow us down (Mark again!) - but Greg has a slightly buckled wheel and Dave broke a spoke.
A few steep climbs - one up to the Clifton suspension bridge where we were met by (even more) of Greg's relatives.
Cycling at speed and long distances we tend to focus on the road - but Greg and Dave did see a cow giving birth in a field (standing up).
Greg had a bit of road rage on a Mercedes driver who took exception to Greg's cycling in Gloucester.
Statistics: Distance - 126miles, average speed - 17mph, top speed - 38.9mph (Mark), chaffing - none
Interesting fact: Mark cleans his rims
Always had our suspicions mark was a rim cleaner.......
