70k today bit was meant to be 100. Got out of London to Layhams Road and hit lanes completely covered in ice in the morning so decided to turn around and get the train to Maidstone and pick up the route a bit later on and give the sun some time to melt some of the ice. Turned out to be a good decision. Roads seemed a lot clearer but for some reason when I was doing rushed route planning I had it in my head that the pilgrims way out that way was completely paved, so didn’t check the route that much. Turns out icy bog, fixed wheel, slick tyres and a lotta weight doesn’t quite work. Surprising! Spent quite a bit of time walking and no idea where my toe covers are but if anyone heads along the pilgrim’s between Maidstone and Ashford, grab em for me please? Think I’m on about 330 total. Day off tomorrow.
