new update!

To begin the month of October, we were honored with a lovely wet and windy day of riding in England. We cut our day short to get warm 'n dry at a bed n breakfast in Stow-on-the-Wold, spending our evening cozied up, watching movies while our saturated clothes took up most of the room. The next morning began bright 'n crisp. After a traditional English breakfast of meat, beans and eggs, we had the pleasure of witnessing an old fashioned fox hunt! Dozens of horses with quads and cars following trotted through the streets more for show and fun than to actually catch any fox.

Our goal for the day was to make it 90+ miles to our first planned rest day that turned into the rest of the week. After about 6 hours in the saddle (70ish miles) it began to rain and get dark but we pushed on (total of 93 miles) and made it to Barley where we made ourselves at home for the next week, feasting on cheese, bread, and wine, apples, pears, and plums from the orchard and the most wonderful home cooked meals.

Aside from hanging out with Dexter cows, peafowls, chickens, rabbits, squirrels, woodpeckers, pheasants, and horses we visited London, Cambridge, Saffron Walden, Barkley, Barley and Royston, also exploring the local footpaths nearby. Tomorrow we continue cycling on in good spirits.

sorry guys, I (georgia) got frustrated trying to upload them and write the comments next to them in a fashionable way. we've got for the first photo, leaving Wales, entering England, their first pale ale, day 1 en route (Ireland- somewhere south of Dublin), and not sure about the last one. enjoy!
