CYCLING DAY 6 - Highbridge-Chepstow 55 miles, 19.5.11
As we have moved the van yesterday to a small campsite in Chepstow we had to take the train back to where we finished last, namely Highbridge. It was quite hilarious on the train. We all were packed like sardines in a tin, Bikes, people reading newspapers, books, chatting with other riders, one guy already drunk and the ticket man couldn’t even get through.
Started cycling from Highbridge at 9. It was a nice sunny day, side wind and the roads were mostly flat. Along the coast to Burnham-on-Sea, where we quickly said Hello to an old friend, on to Berrow, Weston-super-Mare, then more inland to Congresbury, Clevedon, using the cycleway on the M5 over the river Avon. On to the Severn Road Bridge, reaching Chepstow our place of finishing off for the day. It has been a mixed day. Got lost a few times and that is annoying but signs are sparse or broken off and confuses the riders. We used the Avon Cycleway, which was wonderful. We find the gears are much better now that they have been checked over. Tomorrow we drive to Cuckoo's Corner, Moreton-on-Lugg (Hereford).
