Bristol to Berlin by Bicycle - Training diary

Went out last Saturday and rode the Jack & Grace Cotton memorial ride - 100k of steady riding up the Severn valley from North Bristol.

I was able to hook up with some other local riders thanks to Steve Downs of the South Bristol club and we had a cracking day, all riding a fixed gear on the back lanes of Gloucestershire. No hills worth speaking of so it was a perfect opportunity to do a reasonable distance.

A memorable cake stop a Leyhill Prison, the organisers laid on a feast of home made cakes. The highlight being a really tasty fig pastry.

We looked but couldn't find any files or hacksaw blades hidden in the cakes!

Oops, sorry this was supposed to be a "training" ride wasn't it?
