Cycling England: Bognor Regis to Salisbury

My latest bicycle touring update: cycling England, Bognor Regis to Salisbury. 70 miles. That was a hard 70 miles. There’s been a strong wind blowing against me all day. I was certainly glad to finish.

I’m not too sure if I mentioned it last week or not. But the reason I’ve come away is for a family reunion in Bath on Monday. I could have driven, but you know me, any excuse to get out on the bike.

I’m pretty surprised I made it today. We had a lad’s day out sailing to the Isle of Wight yesterday. Except we didn’t go, it was too windy. We stayed in Chichester Harbour instead, where, in theory, it would be a little calmer, which it was, I suppose. It still got up to force 7 in the harbour; it was certainly rather exhilarating. Then, after a day of sailing, we ended up in the pub. I didn’t get home until midnight. And was up again at five. I think I may sleep rather well tonight.

Since I last posted, I’ve been to the hospital for physio. Blimey, that was a full-on workout. He was pulling and stretching my neck in every direction possible, and even ones that I didn’t think were! I’m not too sure if it did any good. But at least it didn’t make it any worse.
