The hosts Steve and Mandy made us feel very welcome, provided a top notch breakfast and let us dry our kit that we hand washed in their laundry room overnight.

We have done 95 and 97 mile rides back to back already but today is the first time we hit 100. We left Winscombe and headed through fields for the coast. The first crossing we made was over the Avonmouth Bridge. This is actually the M5 motorway, luckily we were in a separate section away from the traffic 😬

We then followed a cycle track along the southern bank of the River Severn and then crossed over the Severn bridge into Wales

We stopped for quite an early first lunch at the Two Rivers pub in Chepstow, then later, a coffee and ice-cream at Raglan Farm and mid afternoon we stopped for pasta at a Tesco in Hereford. By this point energy levels were running low. This second lunch gave us the boost we needed to complete the remaining miles to Ludlow.
It was a pleasure to meet you both and so glad you enjoyed your time at The Beeches in Churchill, Winscombe. Hope the heat is not slowing you down too much gents.Thank you for the receipt for our donation to your most worthy cause. Best wishes. Steve & Mandy Harvey
