(Written from home after the event)... Struck camp for the last time on the trip, thinking that my gear probably won’t see the light of day again until next year. We set out to the east, and soon said goodbye to Rod, who forked off, bound for Hereford. Guy and I rode on to Usk. We stopped for coffee in the flower garden of a posh interior decor shop. All went well until I needed the loo - I had to queue in a rather confined fancy room. Clearly, all the posh fragrances that were on display couldn’t shroud the odours of this sweaty cyclist who had spent the past week in the saddle!! Noses were turned..... A fine ride along the old A40 from Usk to Chepstow, then a meal deal sandwich lunch outside our favourite Tesco Express. Next, over the old Severn Bridge, and around the western outskirts of Bristol. We found our way onto the familiar run of the Bristol to Bath Cycleway, and shared this last segment of our trip with legions of other cyclists, dog walkers and pram pushers....
