Posted 8/5/2012

We set off from out B&B with sore legs from day 1! And it was sunny....to start with. Then the heavens opened and gave us the first soaking of the day :-( we stopped off for a cuppa made by Luke in a layby. Then Ian Clark (Steve Clarks brother) turned up and gave us some encouragement. Great to see you Ian! At market Harborough we took the cycle path which leads all the down to Milton Keynes but it was flooded and very muddy so we abandoned after 3miles and headed back to the Tarmaced roads.

Luke found a teddy on day 1, Wiggo (now fixed to the back of the Bongo) and then I found another teddy today appropriately called Lizzie, So we now have two on the back of the Bongo - See travel album.

The sun eventually came out and we arrived in Aylesbury at 5pm after 80 miles in the saddle. Now we're off to the pub to lubricate the joints :-) x
