Bottom line: it all went smoothly. Lovely weather, lovely countryside and lovely roads. I got the silver award I was aiming for. 285 miles meant I didn't stop for long anywhere. Initially I was on unclassified roads that didn't allow more than 20 mph, but later it was sweeping A roads where 60 was a breeze. I took in the Brecon Beacons, Abergavenny, Merthyr Tydfyl and the Valleys, then back up via Llandovery, Rhayader, Newtown.
There were plenty of sheep. At one point I was going to nip over a gate to take a leak, but about 25 of the woolly items saw me and started running towards me, so I found another spot.
Agnes and Jonathan had a good day too, including a ride on a steam train. The day ended with a delicious meal cooked by the B+B owner.
Off soon, London-wards, possibly via an RBR landmark or two. Then we'll see how Thomas did in his two football tournaments.
