Yeovil Town

The A37 is a very hilly road not suitable for old cyclists but after a few stops for food and rests I arrived at Yeovil just before 4pm. The welcome there was very good. Photos were taken inside the ground and the Press Officer and I went to search for the manager Russell Slade. Eventually we found him back in reception where he signed my shirt and posed for photos. Very good PR which could have been taught to other clubs! My phone rang several times when I was there. One from my brother Steve to arrange to pick me up, and the other from John Stuffins - Andrew's brother who lives near Crewkerne. We arranged to meet up so I cycled on the extra 9 miles and met Steve there. We dropped the bike at John and Pat's. After a coffee some apple cake and a chat we made the half hour journey back to Steve and Ann's home in Gillingham arriving after 7pm, very tired and stiff.
