Day 4 - a long short day

Today saw us pass through cheddar gorge, the mendips, bristol and cross the severn bridge in to wales. We then snaked our way west of the wye valley before a screaming descent in to monmouth.

On paper, todays ride should have been a short one at sixty five miles, but with the many changes in scene, it felt like an epic. We finished the ride with seventy on the clock and a good couple of hours later than we had planned.

Thom got the first puncture of the expedition and it was a goodun. His rear tyre was ruined after a meeting with an unknown but large and sharp object. Fortunately we were not far from a decent bike shop who sorted us out.
