Rough ride

If I remember right it may take you a bit longer to get to Kington than Builth Wells, its pretty similar in mileage I would think but a bit more off the beaten track. We are camping so going down the day before.

"The T-Shirt was pants"

You must be trying to put it on wrong then ? those are arm holes not leg holes ?

Actually this years T-shirt was loads better than last years, which really was crud !

Proper hard ride, sometimes pushing was as hard as riding though ! relentless
