The report
Our longest day of the trip so far and possibly the longest day overall took our total distance over 500k. 532.12 to be precise. We left our Bristol hotel at 20 to 9 and road our first section of the day pretty fast. Our first stop was Gloucester. It was raining and windy for almost all of this section of the day which made it tougher than it should have been. It was about 45k to Gloucester which we completed in good time. We arrived at around 10 past 10 just 1 and a half hours after we left Bristol. We then continued to Worcester where we stopped from some lunch. The third and penultimate leg of our ride took us to Stourbridge. This section was also flat and uneventful. We stopped briefly in Stourbridge for coffee then continued to Wolverhampton. This section was hiller and we got lost a few times so the last 20k took much longer than expected. We reached the hotel at about quarter to 6 and got takeaway pizza for dinner.
Tomorrow’s another big day to Bolton. If you want to hear about that subscribe to this blog and follow me on twitter @firstplacetri
