Day 3

I ride up hills on the big ring now. And don't even notice. Its amazing how quickly your body adapts.
Long day today 150km. Mainly flat out of Devon into Somerset, briefly into Gloucestershire and then over the Severn bridge into Wales. One massive climb over the Mendips at Cheddar and a climb out of Chepstow followed by a great 7km downhill into Tintern, 50kph+ all the way. My bike computer shows a top speed of 103kph today but that must be a mistake or some kind of record. A quarter of the way there and still going. We've got a 5* hotel to head for tomorrow, that's incentive enough.
