Tour of Wales

Well we finished our ride yesterday in pleasant sunshine the only downside was I fell off my bike on the climb up to Gospel Pass. Luckily I was almost at walking pace as it was really steep, I was grateful for my helmet that saved me from injury. We had stunning views from the summit-picture of me near the top at the end of the blog. The quiet country lanes were delightful. We had followed Sustrans routes nearly all the time it is an excellent charity- if you ever wonder about those little blue signs with numbers on there are put there by Sustrans and their hundreds of volunteers.

The weather over the six days of the  ride was a real mixed bag, strong head winds especially along the North Wales coast where we were frequently sprayed by the sea. (Bike encrusted with salt water just given it a good wash!), Persistent rain on a couple of days where we got really dirty and then sunshine towards the end.
