Bridgwater to Cheltenham - Day 4 (24 May)

Today we were homeward bound!!

After another special guest, Mike Smith joined us for the day, we made a quick escape from the lovely Bridgwater!

With some new borrowed working wheels, Malcolm led the pack up towards Bristol Airport!

All went smoothly despite meeting a rather large hill up to the airport. We all made it to the top intact and enjoyed the long downhill run into the city of Bristol.

Lunch in Alveston consisted of a variety of choices, including carvery, carvery or carvery. Although Malcolm managed to find the ice cream machine and after 4 servings called it a day.

Unlike Devon and Cornwall it was a nice flat route into Gloucestershire which meant we powered through the rest of the day. The sun shone for the first time which took us by surprise and has resulted in a bit of right leg sunburn!

We finally rolled into Cheltenham to some familiar faces cheering us on, thank you Suzanne, Fi and Daisy! You're all still more than welcome to join us?

Having arrived home we were provided with some much needed physio from family friends Angie and Zoe at Access Physio (www.accessphysio.co.uk). Although a tad painful I'm sure tomorrow we will be zoooming along with some brand new legs.

Average speed today: 14.1 mph
Total distance covered: 83.9 miles
Overall cycling time:5 hrs 50 mins
Pete's Pint: Fruit of the Forest juice and sparkling water!
