In June, I shall be one of the "Famous 5" who will be cycling from Newport to Holyhead. We are B & Bing it. Jan won't be coming. Too far outside her comfort zone. This means that I will be the youngest, by some 7 years I think.
Today I went out for a 43 miler in gently rolling Essex. It's the longest ride I have done for some time. I am utterly knackered. I am seriously considering cheating and getting some electrons to assist me with my endeavours. I suspect that the septuagenarians in our party (ie the other four) would consider this to be cheating...
Our overnight stops will be at:-
Chepstow
Llanfihangel Crucorney
Builth Wells
Llanidloes
Machynlleth
Barmouth
Criccieth
Caernarfon
and then return from Holyhead on 12th June. Since all the others live in Merseyside, I will spend that night with my brother near Shrewsbury. I don't fancy cycling for several hours and then spending 6 hours on trains and arriving home late in the evening.
At least they are all farily short days.
