Conwy ➡️ Holyhead ➡️ Dublin (70 km) 🚴‍♂️💨
🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Farewell UK, hello Ireland! 🇮🇪
⛰️ Tough, punchy start to Bangor. Proper up and down and very tiring.
🌾 Rolling Welsh countryside through Anglesey as the terrain smoothed out to Holyhead.
🚢 Stena Plus Lounge on the ferry. Feasted on the all you can eat food and enjoyed well earned rest.
🏠 Generously taken in by friends in Dublin for a proper meal and a warm bed!

At the business end of the trip now. Ireland leg to be tough 💪

Chester to Conwy 84 km 🚴‍♂️💨
🛣️ Cruised the Millennium Greenway & Wales Coast Path, crossing Hawarden Bridge (River Dee) and tracking the River Clwyd.
🏰 Passed the historic Castell Rhuddlan.

George Rockell charity bike ride for TOFS Day 4 ✅

🛶 Crossing the Shropshire Union Canal, a flash of nostalgia bringing back memories of living aboard a narrowboat myself.
🚴 Flat terrain and another dry, sunny day making for an effortless cycle.
🏛️ Stopping in Chester to walk the Roman city walls, Amphitheatre and see the famous Eastgate Clock up close, which is said to be the second most photographed clock in the UK after Big Ben!

George Rockell charity bike ride for TOFS Day 3 ✅

🏛️ Rolling into historical Ludlow first thing and passing the Feathers Hotel, an ornate 1600s Jacobean timbered inn.
⛰️ Continuous rolling climbs through the Shropshire Hills. It certainly lives up to its name.
🏰 Quiet back roads and a short diversion to Wilderhope Manor, a brilliant joint National Trust and YHA site, for lunch.
​Another 60 km ticked off!
Bunking up in Shrewsbury tonight.

George Rockell charity bike ride for TOFS Day 2 ✅

St Briavels to Woofferton (82 km)
🏞️ Gorgeous scenery following the River Wye out into Herefordshire.
🏡 Rolling through scenic rural villages and dropping into Ross-on-Wye.
📈 Plenty of ups and downs testing the legs on the hills.
🏨 Bedding down at a service station Travelodge tonight, nothing fancy, but a very welcome rest (and definitely no castle ghosts keeping me awake!).
Feeling good but 82 km was a test!
Bring on Day 3!
Thanks for the support x

George Rockell charity bike ride for TOFS Day 1 ✅

❤️ An amazing send-off from family and friends.
☀️ Blue skies and perfect riding conditions all day.
🌉 Crossing the Severn Bridge for the first time in almost 20 years (last time was with my dad on LEJOG!).
👻 Setting up camp inside a 13th-century haunted YHA castle.
My legs feel good, panniers stayed secure and spirits are high!
Time for food and rest before pushing further north tomorrow.
