LEJOG D3

Struggled today on the hills,  there are some short and steep buggers. Walked up the 14% hill, and couple of other steep spots, had a rest halfway up some more.  Oh, did I menyion yhe unseasonal northerly in our faces?  Keep being told the first two days are the worst and that we will ride ourselves into fitness.  Hmm,  my knees don't feel so sure.

We did have one good stretch where we turned out of the wind at the top of the moors and ride past an American WWII aerodrome. Quite a few miles to enjoy before another hill and a short run along the main highway.

By a stroke of luck we are in a room with a bath today (at a golf resort) do Gabe my limbs a good soak. Felt much better,  and we'll see in the morning just how they are. And the stats for tomorrow don't look greatly different.
