An eventful time

Jo at the lunch stop of the Bristol to London bike ride.

Me at the lunch stop. The food put on for the lunch stop is amazing, Jo and I said we would use for our wedding.

The Bristol to London bike ride was fun, it is fantastically organised and a great event, highly recommended. It is a long day day, there is not much talking on the coach ride home, sleep is the order of the day.

Jo and I's Triathlon was an eventful weekend, the car broke down on arrival at the campsite, we found out we only had 10 mile breakdown recovery, and the car needed to go into a garage to be fixed, which would mean an extra day in Hele Bay, Jo had to cancel work and I was meant to be visiting my placement, so that had to be cancelled. The next morning Jo and I decided to walk the quick way to the triathlon, we had been told about at reception, we had both bikes and all our triathlon gear, we got lost and ended up walking through muddy bridal ways and across fields and uphills. The triathlon was meant to start at 9:30 Jo and I left the campsite at 7:30, we arrived at the triathlon at 9:30 thinking we had missed it, our bikes were muddy, we were tired and our shoes and socks were wet through. We were told the start had been delayed, so we quickly got ready and both of us managed to complete the triathlon, at the end we had to walk back, to the campsite, we decided to go the road way, it was less than a mile. The car was fixed on  Monday so we drove back to Bristol after an eventful weekend.
