day 3, it was a buggar

we were all happy this morning at the thought of 'only' 94 miles, however a look out of the window during breakfast took the shine off it... it was steady rain. fortunately it dried up by the time we set off and we started off well enough, cycling off road on old railway lines. nice and flat, no cars, but slow progress. soon enough we were back on the roads and then the heavens opened, we were soaked within a few minutes. next we headed in to wales over the Severn bridge. once   in wales the terrain was not our friend, uphill, downhill, uphill, downhill, on and on and on.... as usual we sniffed out a decent little country pub and stocked up on food and beer-carbs whilst trying to dry off. Dave was king of the hills today zooming up every one with me and rob being slow any steady someway behind. rob nearly ran over a turkey which slowed his progress at on particully steep hill, we got soaked again in another downpour and in a  low moment near the end I was overtaken by a spritly 70 year gent. apologies from dave and rob for no other updates tonight but we are in a wifi, 3G free zone, so they will both have double homework tomorrow.
