  1. Today’s ride was 58 miles, it was 27 degrees the hottest day yet. Tomorrow is a rest day so only 30 miles then we need to maintain the bikes. Current mileage total is 658, hoping to get to a thousand before I return to the UK.

  3. When I was much younger a mate owned a car similar in shape to that 4 but I’m sure it was a Simca or some such had the gear shift just under the centre of the dashboard.

    We’ve seen a few of the Renault 4 on our travels.
     
  4. I loved the back doors on the Renault four, possibly Guinness book of records for smallest opening rear doors. the best cars have already been made.

  5. A short but painful 40 miles today, hottest part of the day 29 degrees.

    We were forced to have a front wheel corrected today as the spokes were getting loose and creating a death wobble. Found a very small bicycle/motorcycle repair shop. We were only charged a fiver and the old gentleman did it there and then. IMG_9802.jpeg

    Then off we popped to our destination of Tsuruga and encountered a ‘snow monkey’.

    Tomorrow is back to our usual 50 plus mileage.

  7. 54 miles today to the uninhabited village of Imber inside the Army training area, open just a few days a year. Prawn sandwich at Warminster before the ride in to the headwind all the way back to Wilton.

  8. Gutted, left Uno this morning to climb out of the plain, 26 miles and possibly 1500metres of vertical climbing and the road had been severely damaged by a landslide. There was no way through or around, looks like we’re going to be forced by circumstance to ride along the coast.

    A roundabout, only the fourth one we have encountered. The Japanese have usually a set of lights or on minor roads a stop line on all roads that intersect which is pretty baffling.

    Encountered a Deer in the road.

  9. Did you see Wiltshire Man?
     
  10. Do you mean Sandy from YouTube? If so, no I didn’t
     
  11. Yup. He was there.
    I must make the effort to go there myself!
