Well it is true to say that seeing a few friendly faces today have most certainly lifted our spirits in camp, as fatigue is well and truly beginning to kick in! Laurian Pepper, James Blackwell and his parents were a breath of fresh air and most certainly pulled us through the morning...soon after midday day we stopped for lunch, along with our support car for the day (James parents) and witnessed both James and Laurian consume a full 3 course meal in under an hour...impressive!! Thanks to Les and Caroline for treating us to lunch!!
The thought of seeing my parents within the next few hours soon got me back on my bike...with a fairly flat road the time seemed to fly by (besides the multiple pitt stops we had to make for James slow puncture)...and the sun even decided to show its face, the day was most certainly improving and was topped off when I saw my parents waiting for us in the distance!...at this point we said farewell to Laurian, James, his parents and their super duper road bikes!! (Thank you again for making such an amazing effort guys)
With a few wise words of wisdom and yet another delightful meal from my parents it most certainly spurred us on to complete the 76 miles to our final destination in Hereford!
The company we received today definitely made up for the lack of scenery we experienced on the A49, and seeing my parents has left me with a bounce in my step (not to sure how I could associate this saying to cycling).
Now we three tough days ahead of us, we are determined as ever to complete this amazing challenge and reach our fundraising total!!
