offa's bikers - day 2Offa's Bikers pages: home, route overview, stats summary, day1, day2, day3
Day 2 was Friday 28th July. We left Chirk at 8:35 am and headed up hill (inevitably!) to Selattyn (see the primary school's website - its says nothing about being at the top of a very steep hill!) arriving 9:10am. Lunch was @ 12:05 - 12:50 (at the top of yet another hill) having done just under 36 miles and having been peddling for over 3 hours. Its was very hot with the tarmac melting on the roads and it was a very tough day. After a rest in Knighton (we had aimed for afternoon tea but arrived just after 5:00pm), we arrived at the Harp Inn in Old Rock at around 7:20pm. The Harp Inn is lovely, old, sells great beer and has great views. Unfortunately great views = height and, yes you guessed it, it is at the top of a very steep hill! 78 miles cycled in Day 2 in a total cycling time of 8 hours 21 minutes! Ouch!

Note: It was always a relief to see Mark and Kevin as it meant I was getting to the top of the hill finally!
