Lunch was a welcome break, a hearty ham ploughman's washed down with a glass of St. George's ale, at the White Hart in Bow.
The ride for the early part of the afternoon continued to be a hard fought effort, requiring a 4 mile detour to Tiverton to rehydrate. After replenishing the H2O stores the riding eased as I got to enjoy the Grand Western Canal for 5 or 6 miles. After the canal I had only 10 miles to complete, with the Devon / Somerset border crossed I entered Wellington and made it to the overnight stop by 17:30.
The second day now crossed off and on to day 3, planned to be far easier when it comes to climbing with only 1900ft, as I work my way up the coast towards Weston Super Mare and then onto Thornbury.
