Today we’re bound for Cheddar - famous for its cheese….and its gorge. More on that tomorrow. First, the Blackdown Hills. Looking good boss…
Meanwhile, 5 miles ahead, Mr Tickle is literally ploughing his way through this!
Another Garmin error. Didn‘t deter him though. Like Fabian Cancellara, the young whippet just ploughed his way through the field. He paid with a puncture - no surprise to anyone who has ever ridden through a field of rocks and thorns. Shame a flat tyre didn‘t deflate his ego at the same time. So it was no surprise to anyone that, without a support car, Tickle was reeled in by Tank Commander Hinde and his trusty sidekick, The Beast. Lunch and then the final flat 20 or so miles to Cheddar YHA.
Another day done. Easier, but not easy. Lugging panniers, truly is a monster of a job. I think we’re all planning on ditching some of those non-essentials when we call in at home. Even the Tickle Monster’s foot spa…..
