After an early start Helen and I headed out towards Halesworth. Our old friend a strong headwind was starting to play its old tricks again.
Stopped for a full breakfast in Halesworth. After refuelling we headed to Huggies bike shop to get our tyres re-inflated and buy some new cycling gloves. Oh but they felt good. Had developed bruises on the pads of my hands so hoped some new gloves might help deaden that a bit. We went for a minor road route, largely as there didn't seem to be convenient main road connections from Lowestoft. Some lovely roads through the Suffolk countryside (I think I was still in Suffolk at that point). Onwards to Eye for an icecream break. Then on to Stowlangtoft, hit the B1104 and headed across to Fornham All Saints. Stopped off for lunch in the woods near Flempton.
Onwards towards Mildenhall , Fordham and then Stetham. Oh but this is getting to be a long day. On the A1123 and the traffic was not fun - where's the fire? Did go past an accident which was attended by two ambulances, a firetruck and several police vehicles - nasty. Kept on keeping on - loud cheers when we reached the 100 point. First time for Helen to go over 100 miles in a day so worth celebrating. Found a cycle path through Hemingford Abbots towards Huntingdon. Through Godmanchester, past the hospital and on to Becky, Will and Issy's house. Had a fabulous roast chicken dinner. Becky and Will are brilliant hosts and it was so kind of them to take on two sweaty cyclists, even if we had completed 107 miles in a day!
