A change in planning today made a big difference to what we were able to achieve… Firstly we set a destination (Tunbridge Wells) and secondly we took some food with us!!

Aiming for Tunbridge Wells meant that there was nothing drawing us home and thus we were able to focus on cycling and getting there rather than in previous weeks where we struggled to maintain concentration as we aimlessly tried to cover the miles. Food meant that we weren’t hit by the hunger factor… which i was knocked for six by last week.

We managed to cover 55 miles this week in 4 hours 15 mins which was very pleasing.. and although we both fell off our bikes (pretty much at the same time) it was only on the grass verge and not the road.. i think it would have been quite a vision for anybody driving past seeing two cyclists horizontal on the grass verge!!!

Royal Tunbridge Wells (the halfway point) - 55.2 miles, 4 hours 15 mins, average speed 12.80mph
