Alcester to Roland Garros

Just to add to the tension another spoke has snapped on Dunc’s rear wheel. He’s going to have to nurse his bike through the last 25 miles as there’s no opportunity for a repair.

Still - the sun’s shining and it’s lunchtime!

Better late than never, here are the highlights and lowlights from Day 3

Highlights:
✅ Julie in Hole Anthony & Sons for respoking and getting us on our way in time for the Ferry
✅ The fabulous coffe and cake shop ladies
✅ Arriving in Newhaven (never thought you’d ever hear that as a highlight!!)
✅ Winning at cards on the ferry

Lowlights:
❎ Popping a spoke on the cr@p roads in and around Hayward’s Heath
❎ No ability to charge devices on the Ferry
❎ No available charging points in the aire and a “sun-bed” mentality from those who’d already grabbed them.

None of that matters. From what could have been disaster with the rear wheel as it was significantly out of shape, we were so very fortunate to have contacted Hole Anthony & Sons; the owner of which - Julie - worked miracles very rapidly to get us back on track. What a superstar!!

Day 4 coming up...
