With only 6 days to go I thought it might be a good idea to see how far I could stagger along on my bike. I set off at 7.45am and headed for Cheltenham. To my amazement it went remarkable well and I arrived at the Robins just after 10am. I persuaded a lady in the club shop to come and take my photo and told her I would be back next Wednesday. I then popped around the corner to see if my son James was at home. He rents a room with other student friends in Cheltenham but he was at university in Cirecester so I started to make my way back towards home. The return journey was a fair bit harder as I was beginning to tire and a head wind had pick up. I still only lost about 10 minutes on my scheduled return time so can't complain. I always have to climb a steep hill to get back to the farm so I stopped off at the Cottage of Content for a pint of Butty Bach before summoning the energy to get home. The 'Cottage' are backing me enthusiasticaly and getting quite a few of their customers to sponsor me.
