The Welsh leg started in a pretty brutal way, with a 71 mile cycle to take us out of Bristol to the town of Walton, near Shropshire. We've found that breaking these big days down into chunks of around 25 miles is the best way to keep sane, so our first stop for that day was the town of Monmouth, where we made it to within a few hours. I definitely struggled on this first leg, as a lot of the ground coming out of Bristol was either flat or slightly uphill, and I've found over the past week that my body is a lot more suited to long, steep hill climbs followed by downhills rather than endless flats - it just feels like cycling through treacle!
