Day #2: Llandudno to Holyhead

Cycling NCR 5 along the Northern coast of Wales and into Anglesey. Not my lucky day.

A spot of bad luck

You could call this one.

  1. My phone dropped on the road TWICE and smashed the screen. Luckily, a) I didn’t run it over b) it has a screen cover and couldn’t shatter properly.
  2. My watch didn’t record today’s journey and it’s only half a trip on Strava. Travelled 5 hours and recorded 3. Whether I touched something on my watch, I don’t know.
  3. I got a puncture following NCR (national cycle route) 5 through woods coming down into Holyhead. Only about 2.5 miles from base but had to pump the tyre up 3 times before I could make it into town.
  4. When I got to the hotel, my bicycle lock ceased and I had to saw it off the pannier with my muti-tool.

I’m not a massively superstitious person, but this was a little too much. For one day.

Dead unlucky

I put it down to my unlucky T-shirt.

Day #1: Buckley to Llandudno

Cycling through the North Wales coast.

She wasn’t in, so pretty much.. got on the bike.

Easy ride very few hills. Wind is a bit of problem, as I said to one of my respondents the other day, it just never stops.
