Tour of Wales Day 4 - Saundersfoot to Trefin - 51 miles
A wet start to the day. Managed to pack up without getting everything soggy! We rode along to Tenby, and Route 4 took us on a nice scenic way through the town. Then on to Pembroke, the navigation through which was less straightforward! Down the hill to Pembroke Dock, and a Big Breakfast in Tesco for the second day running!
Then on over the bridge and along the old railway track, around the outskirts of Haverfordwest, towards Broadhaven. Rod skilfully avoided several undulations to bring us onto the front at Newgale.
After a relatively light lunch of sandwiches, we rode straight up the monster hill out of Newgale, and on to St Davids. Whilst I’d ridden through the city a couple of times previously, I’d never seen the cathedral before. It’s in quite a spectacular setting - must return as a tourist sometime.
The afternoon ride was grand. We finally managed to get some speed up, and took some delight in racing past some mountain bikers with our huge pannier loads on.
We found a lovely small campsite, and managed to get pitched in the dry, in the early evening, in plenty of time for a shower and a great tea and beers in the pub.
Not so many miles covered, but another cracking day 😊🚴♀️
