A ride to Buxton but the long long way home
A 123mile epic and just managed to catch the young lady at the burger van on the A6 for a sandwich.
After reaching the Pavillion Gardens in Buxton I was very cold. Ady your right, certainly a dig deep day.
I set off back down the A6 and thought about heading to the cafe in Tideswell but after nearly bonking on the hill I decided to push on home. A shot block bar saw me back to Bakewell and then the hunger knock really kicked in. I literally freewheeled up to the Burger Van at Whatstandwell in the layby.
She said " Tea Mr you look dreadfull".
I replied give me a tea with three sugars and a bacon sandwich. The last two pieces of bacon duly was savaged in ten seconds flat.
I then set off with vigour. Went through Derby, out to East Mids Airport then across to Gotham and around Nottingham and home.
I wouldnt have made it without an inspirational phone call at about 60miles.
Oh and isnt it just great when your 16 yr old son has run all the hot water off when you arrive home piss wet through.
A quick half hour with the immersion on and then lay in the bath for an hour.
