Garry McGivern Travelsonabike2 is bicycle touring in England on Saturday, the 2nd-November-2024. Brighstone to Bognor Regis. 44 miles. Now, that was a long day. But I haven’t got a clue why, especially as I’ve not cycled that many miles. I left camp around seven o’clock this morning but didn’t arrive home until 5 pm. I think I must have fallen into a wormhole!
I’ve had a couple of issues with my bike, but nothing that took too long to sort out. There’s an illuminous strip on my tyres, which decided to de-laminate and wrap itself around the wheel’s hub. And later on in the day, I had an issue with my concentric crank. The bolts that hold it in place had worked loose. Neither took long to sort out, but maybe longer than I think.
It’s been an enjoyable few days away, and I was away a little longer than I’d originally planned. But that’s fine. It was a nice surprise to learn that the campsites stayed open later than advertised.
I have a few appointments in the next couple of weeks. But hopefully, after that, I’ll be able to get away again, although I don’t know where to. Especially as campsites are very limited at this time of year.
