Day 6, Coventry to Nottingham - 56 miles

Cumulative 457 miles. Bum rating : Miles - 2 and Paul 2. mileage of 56 in one day is too easy to affect anyone's backside. Got first dampness of the journey with one hour's spitting and avoidance of all the thunderstorms that raged around the Midlands today. 

Below is the second breakfast of the day at Ashby-de-la-Zouch. This is quickly followed by lunch in a valiant effort to consume 4,000-5,000 calories per day. 


Below is Paul watering his bike in thew hope of it growing bigger tyres to go with his recently bigger legs ! In Paul's mum's back garden in Nottingham. 


Just a quick Mechanical note.....

Problems with the bikes that needed attention so far.

Miles...... New bearings (bottom bracket and rear cogs), chain set, back sprocket, front cog and crank.

Paul....... None, not even a puncture.

It must be the way the bikes are ridden, or the fact i look after the Cannondale as shown above.
