Miles 105.18 time 6:54:05 average speed 15.2 mph max speed 42.9 mph
Last nights sport leg massage by Sam (antha), Eddy’s tri-athlete sister, made my legs seem much livelier this morning.
Eddy rode with me for the first part of the day and we first had to ride 2 ½ miles back to the Angel of the North to pick up where I left off.
I took some photos at the Angel and the Tyne Bridge.
We avoided the A1 as much as possible as we headed towards Wooler on the A697. We stopped for coffee and butties after 30 miles then Eddy turned around and cycled home “he didn’t want to do too much today as he has a triathlon competition tomorrow”.
A huge thankyou to Eddy, Sue, Sam, Jessica, and Nicholas for putting me up, feeding me, and generally looking after me.
The weather has been very kind today with sunshine and a tail wind to push up the average speed. And the Northumbrian scenery has been a delight making the whole days ride extremely enjoyable. I visited Berwick Upon Tweed “ at least I now know what its like!” and arrived in Dunbar at 17.30.
As ever when I visit Scotland it rained, from the border to the B&B. I just hope this has not set the scene for the rest of Scotland.
