I had absolutely loads of time to write this yesterday, I simply didn't do it. Mainly because the ride was uneventful but also because I was having a really nice afternoon and evening.
I left my guesthouse in Weston at 9.30 yesterday because there was no major need to rush. Got on the A370 towards Taunton then joined the A38. That was pretty much it. Cycle, cycle, cycle over flatish terrain til I saw signs for Cullompton, then follow that road to my parents oldest friends Ren and Geoff. Arriving just before the rain started the bike was locked safely away and I was inside having a cup of tea.
The rest of the day was spent relaxing and refueling while catching up with the info of a family I've not seen in way too long. The last time we'd met, Ren and Geoff were dropping their youngest, Cait, off at Uni about 5 years ago. The last time I was in this house was probably 15 years ago, so a reunion was definitely overdue.
Today is the final really big effort, a big day's ride to Falmouth to collect Ben Ainslie's postbox before an overnight there ahead of the final leg into Penzance for the newly gazetted Helen Glover MBE's postbox and the glorious culmination of 4 weeks solid cycling!
