The day of dead rats. They were everywhere! According to a local in Ramsey this is due to the weather and aggressive pest control measures by local farmers. Brutal.
Into Cambridgeshire today, satisfying. More country roads and that. Slightly hillier but we ain't talking Mont Ventoux. Made some good time until a woman in St Ives directed me in the wrong direction for a bit then got lost trying to avoid an A road at rush hour on the outskirts of Cambridge. Then came the first mild breakdown. Spoke to Movie over lunch and he says casually, "any mechanical problems yet Jo?", "no" said I....4 hours later and one of the bolts that supports the rack has disappeared so its sitting on my back wheel and I can't move. Typical.
After an awful lot of faffing about which mudguards and racks and tools by the side of the road the rack is secured and away I go! Problem sorted. Although its now dark and my lights are in the bottom of one of the panniers (not even sure which one) and rush hour in Cambridge. Nice!
Eventually found the hostel, phew!
