The stats:
Distance cycled today: 74.2 miles
Ascent: 2,931'
Distance from Lands End: 661.1 miles
I've hit the top of the RPV club leaderboard for this week for distance and ascent finally, but who knows how the weekend will pan out? I've only got another 160 miles and 8,600' of up to do on Saturday and Sunday' - will it be enough to stay on top? :-) Some of the guys in the club really do prestigious amounts of miles and feet of ascent, considering they live in a fairly flat area. Lord only knows where they find the time. Some of us have to work, normally at least :-)
Highlight of the day for Nick was probably finally managing to photograph an Eddie Stobart lorry. Usually they're gone before he manages to get his camera out. The driver gave him the thumbs up as he did so. Don't ask me what's so exciting about an Eddie Stobart lorry, but some people find them interesting. There's even an Eddie Stobart lorry spotting fan club. Did you know that? Oh well, some people go for train spotting, others lorry spotting... He also got some toots from bikers while riding topless - it's the last day of summer after all so he had to ride shirtless. He looks a bit like the older Harley rider type, although the bike he's riding is a good deal thinner and slower. He might look the type but his bike definitely doesn't :-)
A grim sight on the road - grimmer than 10 grim things on a grim day in Grimsby, as a mutual friend put it:
