Day 4 (2/3)
From there we descended into a forest and the next hours were a blur of tiny roads encapsulated by more hedges and trees. We still had to do long days to stick to our new schedule, but agreed that we wanted to do Wye valley instead of the shorter route through Usk after Abergavenny. Everyone had spoken fondly of Wye valley. Everyone on here, but also everyone we’d met.
To be honest, it was quite underwhelming. It was basically a semi-trafficy road along a river. I think it was because we were not in business of doing stops, detours of sightseeing. Probably a super nice area to visit, but to cycle through… Anywho, when we finally stopped for dinner after 111 km, we stumbled across a cricket match. Great entertainment while we enjoyed our overpriced and mediocre food outside in the lovely evening sun.
It was already 7.30 PM when we got going, but the beer and food had numbed the tiredness and the mood was pretty good. We were going to cross the bridge, which sounded fun.
