Your ride today....

As the weather was good we cycled out to Dawyck Gardens for lunch, 50mile return circuit with some headwinds.
Lots of daffs out!

80 miles on the trail yesterday - 130 miles for the past three days - nothing exiting - or pretty. Too many people (most gazing at their brain extensions), too hot - 89F and too samey. Boring as all hell, but it gets the job done. The plan is for 100 Miles tomorrow, same trail because any country rides lack water outlets. Temp. is supposed to be 90F, so the need for water is paramount.
On which subject, what water outlets - taps - are usually available in British villages - or is it a case of buying water at stores?

Try Churches they usually have an outside tap so people can water the flowers on graves.

At Bedouin for the morning where we watched old timers relive old times at a car rally race Tour Auto 2025. The smell of high octane fuel - nothing like it.
The afternoon saw us bimble out on our bikes from Sault to Cafe Reynard and back. Very enjoyable.

Wow! What lovely country.

It is lovely. We could easily have carried on up the main valley road towards Monmouth as there was so little traffic. It will be quite different come Easter, bank holidays and the summertime.

Excellent suggestion. My route goes past a number of churches. Thanks.

I never knew that. I'll have to remember it for the future when running short of water.
