A smooth ride and the fair weather is still holding out. The dynamics of the group have changed slightly as some of the riders who started at Faslane have left the ride in the last few days and have been replaced by new faces.
Our van driver today has been a friend of one of the riders, she had never driven a van before but just wanted to give her help to the ride and she did a good job of it. The support van has been an essential component of the ride; it is where we keep our all of our luggage, our snacks and drinks, and where we end up after one hill too many when our knees give out or our bikes won't work anymore. The van driver encourages us on, know the route, and keeps us safe. We have to thank all those who volunteered to simply drive and those riders who gave up their cycling to drive instead for the day.
The Quakers in Hertford welomed us warmly on our last night of the ride with a reception and a film showing. It is strange that tomorrow will be our last day.
