Blog - UK Day 3 (Wed 20 July)
Ripon-Hull(
)
Insp Seenan’s daily crime report.
What a difference 24 hrs make. The troops are feeling much better after a good night's rest, up for hearty breakfast at 07:00 left at 07:50. No mishaps this morning.
What a difference now that Jimmy’s pan flat roads have finally made an appearance.
25 miles to York first cafe stop. Another 25 pretty flat miles and we are in Market Weighton for lunch - got to keep the truck, the mini, and the smoky old deisel fuelled up. The Tesla has got plenty juice left
The last 25 miles to Hull were done with a detour to a bike shop to pick Big G's part for his rack.
The Tesla ran out of juice at 78.5 miles - just before ferry - and had to pedal up ramp onto ferry. Steepest climb of the day.
The streets around Hull have loads of cycle lanes where Eric had a hulk moment and wanted 'a square go' with a Royal Mail driver who cut him up - we had to restrain him while he was frothing at the mouth.

Good to see you keeping up your calorie intake with cake and Guinness! Wouldn’t want any of you fading away with all that cycling …
