After Day 2, Taunton to Monmouth promised to be a better day... and so it proved. 'Halleluiah Somerset' (after Lancs. and Hampshire this has got to be my favourite county - temporarily at least).
There were a few 'downs';- the inability to load my route to the GPS, getting lost and adding about 15 miles to the day, the first rain of the ride and my first puncture (on the Clifton Suspension Bridge, having detoured and climbed specifically to cross it). Despite all that, this was the best day so far. Somerset is FLAT-ish, I rode with Geoff, met up with Richard & Simon in Wales (representatives of the Lord Loverocket), climbed Cheddar Gorge (on the bike not a rope) and averaged 16 mph.
