Cannington to near Ross-on-Wye
89.0 miles.
7 hours in the saddle.
We caught up with the pedal pushers after they had done their first 15 miles of the day. They were topping up on water supplies at the Co-op in Highbridge. It was going to be a hot day. Parental inspection revealed that they were looking in fine fettle.

The team look like they all know what they are doing, which felt very assuring.
Lunch was taken by the lads in Clevedon on the sea front. Beautiful. Unfortunately the parents had spent too long shopping too far away, and the team had made quicker than expected progress. So we got there in time to say hello again and see them on their way via the Avonmouth Bridge. We didn't know that both this M5 bridge and the old Severn bridge on the old M4 (now M48) have cycle paths on them.
We exchanged words of encouragement again near Aust, took photos and topped up on the suntan. (See Photo)
The parents Apsa then crossed into Wales over the Severn Bridges, and followed the route along the Offa's dyke path for a while. We decided that as it was not clear what route the pedal pushers would be taking, so had a very pleasant journey home via Gloucester and Oxford, successfully avaoiding the Motorway system.
