Anyway, a big thanks to Kieron at the Pierremont B&B for putting us up for free. Top bloke.
We left at about 11:00 and I noticed a mechanical issue with my bike… My bottom bracket had worn out and was wobbling. We tried Halfords to no avail, but the guy was really helpful and pointed us to another bike shop that was off our route, so we carried on whist dad went to pick up the new part. Whist I was in Halfords, Jeremy popped to a garage for some mints. Whilst about to pay, the person behind the counter asked “Any fuel”… he was fully clad in lycra with this cycling helmet on!!!
About 30 miles in, we meet up with dad so Wayne and Alan performed some roadside repairs…. In a pub garden of course. Thanks guys.
Total figures are: 602.6miles at an average of 9.3 mph.
