80 miles approx & 2,400 calories 👍

This morning was interesting, I shot out of bed at 4.30/5 am by a loud bang, a thunderstorm hit incredibly loud, followed by some amazing flashes of lightening, fascinating to watch although at such an early hour I’m not sure it was appreciated.

This mornings ride was amazing , it was hot, humid & steamy, the scenery superb followed by an early lunch next to a lake with some of my fellow travellers.

Whilst we were having lunch, the thunder started followed by biblical downpours of rain, during a lull in proceedings we all got back on our bikes, more thunder & lightning, the wind was swirling around, I actually stopped cycling at one point, I couldn’t see where I was going 😱 scary stuff indeed 😰 I’m not sure the word wet quite covers it 🌪️⛈️⛈️🌬️💨 anyway we carried on, the sat nav gave up & I got lost! Finally got where we needed to be 😊 so all’s well that ends well! My cycle shoes are drying out on a heated towel radiator 😳

Back to the start

Forward to Day 3
