Wind in the Willows

Well we are back from our madcap travels! Our ride from Exeter was accompanied by a bitterly cold wind often with flecks of snow swirling round. The wind slowed us down especially in Devon and across The Levels- it must have added on an extra hour or so on each day. Pete and I were ravenous when we reached our hotel at Sidcot on Monday night after 7 hours plus in the saddle and our toes were close to turning blue! David sent us information from his Garmin bike computer about Monday the temperature was about 1 degree above freezing with a wind chill of minus 5 we apparently used over 3,000 calories too no wonder we were hungry!

What an exciting finish to the Test Match-I woke up early on Tuesday morning and started listening. I was absolutely hooked with no chance of going back to sleep. Amazing to find something is so compelling when one team are just blocking!
