good things come to those who wait

Today started well, dipped off and then ended on a real high. The wye valley was great as we zipped along at 18mph again. Monmouth to Hereford through the land that time forgot was a bit of a chore though as roads were rough and scenery bland. Aching bums and shoulders for all. Did manage top speed to date though of 48.6 mph. After lunch we entered Shropshire which was fabulous. Endless dairy farms in scenery not too disimilar to the quantocks. A spot of a red kite was a real thrill. Fast descent through the hope valley and on to shrewsbury. 95 miles today with 2677 calories burned. Not looking forward to the long commute tomorrow through the north west. Keep on pedalling, Martin
